In November, a livestock market in Atyrau was closed under quarantine due to the detection of anthrax in a cow carcass from the West Kazakhstan Region. Veterinary services examined the suspicious carcass four days after its discovery. Later, a skin form of the disease was confirmed in a market worker.
In February of this year, a quarantine was announced in the Karabalyk District of the Kostanay Region after brucellosis was detected in several dozen animals. The regional veterinary department stated that the restrictive measures would last up to 20 days.
