– Development and improvement information modules for automatic calculation breeding value sheep by breed;

– Formation new highly productive sheep genotypes the different areas of productivity using potential of the domestic and foreign gene pool to test new breeding achievements;

– Comparative study of the genetic structure domestic sheep breeds through genomic analysis with a generated database phenotypic traits;

– Development effective methods for industrial crossbreeding sheep to obtain the maximum effect of heterosis;

– Development scientific basis for the creation of a multidisciplinary intensive sheep breeding complex for the purpose of year-round production sheep products based on effective technologies for keeping, feeding and raising sheep;

– Development a methodology for index assessment breeding value of sheep using the BLUP procedure with simultaneous creation a software product for calculating the genetic value of sheep.

In 2024, research was conducted on sheep farming in various regions of Kazakhstan (Northern, Southern, Central, Western and Eastern). The research covered 10 breeds of sheep with a total number of 122.7 thousand heads, including 66.5 thousand queens. The monitoring included a study of the conditions of keeping, reproduction and feeding of sheep in 50 basic farms.

– 25 farms in the Northern, Central, Western and Eastern regions used a pasture-stable system, and 25 farms in the Southern region used a pasture system.

– During critical periods (severe frosts, deep snow cover), sheep were fed hay (1.5-2 kg per head per day).

– The fertilization and fertility of queens of various breeds ranged from 89.3% to 135.5%, the safety of lambs for weaning ranged from 90.0% to 99.2%. This indicates the high efficiency of reproduction technologies.

– Breeding works were carried out in scientific research farms with etti merino and Kazakh fine-fleeced breeds, using ile de France sheep to improve meat characteristics.

– The etti merino herd has 7 lines of sheep producers with high meat qualities.

– Artificial insemination showed high fertilization (97.9-99.5%) and fertility (up to 142.4 lambs per 100 queens).

– IDFEM crossbreeds outperformed purebred etti merinos in live weight and average daily growth.

– Kazakh fine-fleeced breed: fertility 94.0%, fertility 125%, preservation 93.0%.

– Kazakh meat and wool breed: fertility 95.0%, fertility 128%, preservation 95.2%.

– Kazakh precocious meat breed: fertility 92.0%, fertility 120%, preservation 90%.

– Crossbreeds of sheep from Suffolk and Texel showed higher productivity and economic efficiency than purebred Kazakh fine-fleeced sheep.

– The proceeds from the production of mutton in crossbred groups exceeded purebred ones by 4,500-1, 650 tenge.

– Work is underway to develop and improve information modules for automatically calculating the breeding value of sheep, which will speed up the breeding process and increase its efficiency.

– Monitoring of the functioning of the information and analytical system (IAS) in farms has confirmed the positive dynamics in breeding work and management of livestock processes.

– Modules for calculating the breeding value of sheep by breed in information system will be developed and improved;

– An application will be submitted to test a new breeding achievement with white semi-coarse sheep wool;

– An application will be submitted for testing at least 4 (four) new factory lines breeding rams in various areas productivity;

– Genetic differences will be established between the populations of Kazakh coarse-wooled fat-tailed, Degeres and Meat merino sheep breeds through SNP genotyping (at least 1000 heads for each breed), with a generated database phenotypic trait;

– Recommendations will be developed on effective methods industrial crossing using domestic and foreign breeds sheep;

– Recommendations will be developed on the technology of functioning a multidisciplinary sheep breeding complex, ensuring year-round production sheep products using effective technologies for keeping, feeding and raising sheep;

– A methodological guide will be developed for assessing breeding value sheep of the Kazakh fine-wool and Edilbay breeds using BLUP procedure;

– A software product will be developed to calculate genetic value sheep of the Kazakh fine-wool and Edilbay breeds using BLUP procedure;

– Young specialists will be involved, incl. at least 2 PhD students and 4 master’s students;

– Within the framework of the implementation of scientific research under the program there should be published at least 2 (two) scientific publications for the whole period of research in peer-reviewed scientific editions included in quartiles (Q1, Q2, Q3) of Web of Science database or having Cite Score percentile in Scopus database not less than 30 (thirty);

– At least 2 (two) articles will be published in peer-reviewed scientific publications indexed in the Science Citation Index Expanded of the Web of Science database and (or) having a CiteScore percentile in the Scopus database of at least 35 (thirty-five) and at least 15 (fifteen) publications in foreign and domestic publications recommended by KOKSNVO (articles will be counted if they are published on official website of the journal, including with status Article in Press or Early Access);

– The research will be carried out on basis of at least 50 farms engaged in breeding sheep various areas productivity.
