Thanks to active work with international projects and the support of our state, major repair works of the Faculty building were carried out (roofs of all buildings were covered, lecture halls, classrooms, research laboratories were renovated and their heating and water supply systems were restored). New teaching and research equipment was obtained within the framework of LMDP -1,2 projects under the International Fund for Agricultural Development. The faculty laboratories are equipped with the most modern devices, diagnostic equipment (PCR-diagnostics, ultrasound, X-ray equipment, biochemical, hematological analyzers, etc.), organized computer classes with Internet and electronic library, classrooms are equipped with audio and video equipment. More than 100 students, recruited from remote areas of the republic, where there is a shortage of veterinarians, were trained through these projects. Much work has been done to improve veterinary education and training of veterinarians. A new educational standard and curriculum for the specialty “Veterinary” was developed in accordance with the requirements of international standards of the OIE. “Veterinary” specialty has undergone independent accreditation. In recent years, the rating of the veterinary specialty and the veterinary faculty of KNAU has risen considerably. A unique “museum of nomadic culture” was built at the faculty with the support of the Christensen Foundation (USA).
