Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.uz) — A total of 163 breeding Simmental cows have been delivered from Germany to Uzbekistan’s Navoi Region.
After completing quarantine, the cattle are expected to be offered to local residents at prices without a commercial mark-up, Agro-Star reported.
The shipment was organised by Navoiy Agro-Star, a specialised company within the Uzagrostar Holding structure. The animals were purchased from German company Förster Livestock.
The Simmental breed is classified as dual-purpose, for both meat and milk production, and is known for its productivity, hardiness and ability to adapt to different climatic conditions.
According to the company, all 163 cows are pregnant, with gestation periods ranging from three to six months.
After arriving in Uzbekistan, the animals were placed at a specially prepared quarantine facility.
Over the course of a month, they will undergo the required veterinary examinations and preventive procedures in accordance with established regulations.
The report also provides details of a previous livestock shipment. In September, 150 Simmental cattle were delivered to Uzbekistan from Austria by the company Schaap.
Of these, 93 animals were handed over to local residents, while the remainder went to farming enterprises. The cattle were sold without a commercial mark-up.
