Abstract
Sustainable Development Goal Number two declares that one of the main tasks in the world is the fight against hunger.This includes many actions and activities in ensuring food security and improving nutrition.Promoting sustainable agricultural development is a top priority.One of the prospective fields in improving the production of food is the development of new approaches in new technologies in animal husbandry.Kazakhstan pays great attention to sustainable development and focuses on sustainable agrotechnologies in sheep breeding and works on increasing the number of sheep.However, due to global warming, the climate in Kazakhstan has changed dramatically, which has led to drought, rapid drying of vegetation, and an increase in various infections, including the pathogen of contagious ecthyma.The main purpose of this article is to evaluate the problems related to contagious ecthyma of sheep in Kazakhstan and evaluate the level of penetration of the epizootic situation of contagious ecthyma of sheep in the region.The research paper presents the results of the study of contagious ecthyma of sheep using an example of Kazakhstan, as well as the state of research of contagious ecthyma of sheep in other countries.The principal methods used to collect data for this research include works on identifying the source of infection, using the ELISA test system developed by our team of researchers to determine antibodies in the blood serum for contagious ecthyma of sheep.At the final stage, the causative agent of the disease was identified using PCR diagnostics.
