Современное состояние, проблемы и пути развития племенного овцеводства в Казахстане

Abstract

The article comprehensively examines the production and breeding potential of pedigree sheep breeding in Kazakhstan using the example of the Edilbay breed. Within the framework of an analytical study based on literature sources, the interrelation between animal identification and performance recording, genetic evaluation, feeding, pasture resource management, veterinary prevention and the product sales chain is analyzed. The prerequisites for adapting the Australian experience of LAMBPLAN and Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBV) to the conditions of Kazakhstan are described. Two production scenarios for 100 ewes are compared, and the sensitivity of income to price, productivity and cost factors is calculated. The results are model estimates based on explicitly stated assumptions rather than empirical data collected on farms. A study design is proposed for the practical verification of the recommended management measures.
