According to reports, outbreaks of pasteurellosis and rabies have been recorded in several Russian regions, including the Novosibirsk region, affecting cattle. In response, authorities culled thousands of animals, triggering discontent among farmers and even protests.
Veterinary experts note that pasteurellosis is a bacterial disease that can be treated with antibiotics and does not always require culling, which has also sparked debate within the professional community.
According to a decision by Kazakhstan’s State Inspection Committee, the ban applies not only to feed wheat but also to other grains used in animal feed production.
At the same time, the restrictions do not apply to food-grade wheat. According to Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Agriculture, the country has imported about 0.9 million tonnes of wheat from Russia since September 2025 for both food and feed purposes.
Kazakh authorities emphasize that these measures are aimed at preventing the introduction of infections and stabilizing the country’s epizootic situation.
