The overload of veterinarians in Kazakhstan has reached a critical level
In Kazakhstan, the veterinary sector is facing a critical shortage of staff and a high workload for specialists. One vet is serving up to 2,000 head of cattle against a norm of 750, while working conditions remain difficult and infrastructure weak. Experts are proposing digitalisation, tighter controls and the development of vaccine production, while the Ministry of Agriculture is drawing up a comprehensive plan to reform the sector.
