ANALYSIS OF THE EPIZOOTIC SITUATION OF ANIMAL BRUCELLOSIS IN WEST KAZAKHSTAN

Abstract

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of the epizootic situation of farm animal brucellosis in the West Kazakhstan region in recent years. The features of the spread of the disease among large and small cattle are considered, seasonal and territorial patterns are determined, and areas with the greatest epizootic intensity are identified. Based on a detailed analysis of epizootic data, the dynamics of morbidity, factors contributing to the preservation of stable foci of infection, and systemic deficiencies in the organization of veterinary control, including late diagnosis, incomplete accounting of livestock and insufficient control over the movement of animals, were identified.

Special attention is paid to assessing the effectiveness of preventive and antiepizootic measures, identifying the reasons for their lack of effectiveness and the need to introduce a differentiated approach to risk management. The article substantiates the importance of zoning the territory according to the degree of epizootic risk, strengthening monitoring, improving laboratory diagnostics, optimizing vaccine prevention and intensifying educational work among animal owners.

The results obtained can be used in the development of regional programs to combat brucellosis, improve the veterinary surveillance system, increase the biological safety of livestock farms and plan measures to reduce economic losses associated with the infection.
