Concept for the development of productive and pedigree camel breeding in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2021–2030

Abstract

The Concept for the development of productive and pedigree camel breeding in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2021–2030 has been developed. The main goal is the development of camel breeding, the revival of social infrastructure in the countryside by increasing the volume of production of high-quality dairy products, camel meat, wool, and leather raw materials, ensuring minimum consumption rates. The main task of domestic productive and pedigree camel breeding is the production of high-quality, environmentally friendly industry products. It has been established that the largest amount of camel meat is produced in the traditional regions of the Republic of Kazakhstan: Aktobe, Atyrau, Kyzylorda, Mangistau and Turkestan. In live weight, camels were produced in the Aktobe region 1603.3–1709.7 tons, Atyrau — 3963.4–3381.3 tons, Kyzylorda — 1313.4–1336.7 tons, Mangistau — 2196.2–3048.3 tons and Turkestan regions — 1690.3–1754.2 tons. In slaughter weight, camel meat was produced in the Aktobe region — 856.9–915.7 tons, Atyrau region — 2046.5–1752.6 tons, Kyzylorda — 684.6–695.5 tons, Mangystau — 1168.4–1615.7 tons and Turkestan — 899.1–927.5 tons. Kazakhstan has all the prerequisites for sustainable development of productive and pedigree camel breeding until 2030.
