Abai Region Governor Berik Uali visited the Mäulit farm in Ekpin village, Akсуat District, and reviewed its feedlot for young cattle and the farm’s production capacity.

Founded in 2007, the farm commissioned the 5,000-head feedlot this year at the Kazangap site in the Ekpin rural district. It currently holds 4,000 young bulls for fattening. The animals are bought from residents and agricultural producers in Akсуat District, giving local livestock farmers an opportunity to sell young cattle at favorable prices and earn additional income.

The farm also keeps 5,135 breeding cattle of the Kazakh Whiteheaded breed. Its equipment includes eight agricultural machines, 10 units of auxiliary equipment, two loaders and two KamAZ trucks. It has 25 permanent employees and hires 10 more workers during the seasonal period. The farm also participates in government subsidy programs.

Operating at full capacity will allow the feedlot to increase meat production and expand the district’s export potential. Uali said projects of this kind help create jobs and develop agricultural production and processing.

According to the governor, Mäulit increased its industrial feedlot capacity to 5,000 head to provide a stable supply of raw materials to a meat-processing complex in Zhanasemey District. He said production capacity needs to grow further to ensure a steady supply to the meat plant and increase the deep processing of livestock products.

The project is intended to strengthen the district’s agro-industrial capacity. It is expected to supply the domestic market with meat, create jobs and, in the longer term, increase exports of domestic products.
