Abstract
The article presents the results of studying the epizootic situation related to bovine tuberculosis in Kazakhstan. The epizootological analysis conducted, including results of allergy testing for tuberculosis in animals and biological examination of biomaterial, indicate the stability of the epizootic situation regarding bovine tuberculosis in agricultural enterprises of Kazakhstan. As a result of monitoring studies, zoning of the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan for animal tuberculosis was carried out. Taking into account the risks of incidence and importation of infection into favorable regions, the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan may be conditionally divided into 3 zones: the first zone is unfavorable, the second zone is favorable, with a high risk of infection and incidence, the third zone is favorable, with a low risk of infection. Outbreaks were predicted based on the analysis of data from various factors affecting the emergence and spread of tuberculosis in the Republic: the presence of infected sites, the density of livestock, the movement of animals within the country and when imported into the country, the number of tuberculin responders and the number of sick animals. Zoning and regionalization of the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan was carried out based on the analysis of statistical data on the epizootic situation over the past 10 years, the analysis of the current epizootic situation, the results of own allergic studies and the determination of the status of each region according to the incidence rate of tuberculosis thereof, the risk of disease importation, the analysis of anti-epizootic measures and epizootic data.
