Abstract
The main risk factor for epizootological problems with anthrax are the numerous anthrax cattle burial grounds available in all regions of the republic, a significant part of which are located in populated areas, on pastures and cattle routes.
The purpose of the research was to assess the biological hazard of some soil anthrax burials located in the East Kazakhstan region.
For the survey, areas and settlements were selected in which anthrax burial grounds located on the territory and/or in the immediate vicinity of villages interfere with their future development and require a solution to the issue of reducing sanitary protection zones. A total of 9 anthrax foci located in 3 districts of the East Kazakhstan region were examined.
The conducted epizootological survey showed that in the Katon-Karagai, Zaisan and Kurchum districts of the East Kazakhstan region, soil anthrax foci differ in the degree of veterinary and sanitary equipment, and have different levels of biological hazard.
