Monitoring continues in the experimental dairy farm operating in the highlands of Lachin and Kalbajar regions.

"APA-Economics" informs that specialists of the Ministry of Agriculture together with experts invited from the Kyrgyz Republic inspected the farm and examined the animals.

According to information, Kyrgyz experts trained local experts on livestock management and gave them extensive information on the behavior of animals in the farm and in the wild, as well as the rules of their care.

Foreign and local experts exchanged views on animal diseases, feed ration of yaks, preparation for pregnancy and other topics.

Kyrgyz experts, who considered the operation of the farm satisfactory, explained the rapid weight gain of yaks and their short-term adaptation to local conditions with the abundance of fodder and quality water sources of Lachin and Kalbajar meadows.

The grazing areas of semi-wild yaks were inspected, the condition of the pastures was assessed, and the potential areas where yaks could migrate in the summer months were determined.

It should be noted that on December 8 last year, 100 head of yak cattle were brought from Kyrgyzstan to Azerbaijan for the creation of a specialized meat farm.

The process was implemented as part of a pilot project and is intended for testing.

Before the yaks were brought, monitoring was conducted in Kalbajar and Lachin regions with the participation of Kyrgyz experts and relevant areas were selected.

Animals adapted to live in the cold climate in mountainous areas were placed in a predetermined area in Lachin district.

Yaks are kept under expert supervision.

Special warning signs prohibiting the hunting of animals have been installed in the area.

The Ministry of Agriculture conducts continuous monitoring to monitor the process of adaptation of animals to natural conditions.

One of the main features of the yak animal species is that it is raised on natural pastures without special feed rations.

Yaks that feed on plants in the pasture area are less demanding on food.

Yaks' sense of smell is better developed than other animals.

For this reason, yaks very easily absorb the plants under the snow (10-20 cm).

These animals are better adapted to local conditions at an altitude of 2500-4000 m above sea level.

The fat content of the milk of yaks, which can live up to 25 years, is up to 9 percent.
