Prospects for the development of down goat breeding in the republic of Kazakhstan

Abstract

Currently, in the Agrarian Programs of the state, due attention is not paid to the goat breeding industry. Meanwhile, support for downy goat breeding predetermines good prospects for the growth of export opportunities in Kazakhstan and the development of the country's light industry. The article presents data on the current state of the goat population. It has been shown that goat down from Kazakh genotypes corresponds to the fineness of Kashmir goats, which means that it is of high value and has every reason to increase its production within the country.
