Retrospective Analysis of the Bovine Leukemia Epizootic Situation in Kazakhstan

The present study is a retrospective analysis of the bovine leukemia epizootic situation in the Republic of Kazakhstan from 2019 to 2023.The study examines trends in the spread of the disease, its geographical distribution, and the effectiveness of existing control measures in Kazakhstan.The study aims to conduct a retrospective analysis of the bovine leukemia epizootic situation in Kazakhstan from 2019 to 2023, identify trends in the spread of the disease, and propose measures for its control and prevention.The work uses data from official veterinary reports and the results of serological blood tests run by local veterinary inspections covering various administrative regions of Kazakhstan.The obtained data show that, despite the preventive measures being implemented, in several regions, such as North and East Kazakhstan, the rate of leukemia infection remains higher than in others.This highlights the need for enhanced measures in high-risk areas.There was also a tendency for the infection rate to fluctuate with peaks in morbidity and subsequent decreases after recreational activities.Despite current preventive measures, bovine leukemia remains a serious problem for the Kazakh livestock industry.The study points to the need to improve the interaction between veterinary services, farm managers, and local governments to optimize disease control strategies.The importance of continuous monitoring and targeted interventions in high-morbidity areas is emphasized.The results provide valuable data for future programs to eradicate leukemia and preserve animal genetic stock and productivity.
