AP23485629 “Quality assurance and safety systems of meat and milk of cattle produced in the territories to Semipalatinsk nuclear test site”.

The Republic of Kazakhstan is one of the countries with a rather tense radioecological situation. For 40 years nuclear tests have been conducted on the territory of Kazakhstan, resulting in negative impact on the environment. It is obvious that natural and anthropogenic radioactivity has a serious impact on the human environment - soil, flora, and fauna, natural waters and the surface layer of the atmosphere All side study and analysis of the ecological system man - society - nature, constant improvement of its functioning are of great importance for the existence of progress of any society.

Research of meat and milk of cattle on the content of radioactive substances, heavy metals, antibiotics, pesticides, genetically modified organisms, as well as the development of a set of measures to ensure the quality of meat and milk, affecting the quality level of life of the population.

1) There should be at least 2 (two) articles and/or reviews in peer-reviewed scientific publications indexed in Web of Science database in Science Citation Index Expanded and/or in Scopus database with CiteScore not lower than 50 (fifty) percentile; - also, there should be at least 1 (one) article or review in peer-reviewed foreign and/or domestic publications proposed by MSHE RK;

2) Categories of hazardous factors affecting the nutritional and biological value of meat and milk will be identified and a full range of features of livestock products produced in areas adjacent to the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site will be presented;
3) A food security monitoring standard and a methodology for calculating this standard depending on the level of environmental contamination and livestock products from adjacent areas will be developed;
4) Optimal methods of research of dangerous biological and chemical agents in meat and milk of cattle, the degree of their compliance with the normative documents of importing countries, WHO, IEB, FAO will be identified, as well as scientifically based recommendations on veterinary and sanitary assessment of meat and milk taking into account international requirements will be developed;
5) It is planned to obtain a Kazakhstani patent;
6) Optimal directions for the development of small and medium-sized businesses in the regions affected by testing at the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site will be identified;
7) Recommendations will be developed to determine the safety systems of meat and milk of cattle produced in the areas adjacent to the Semipalatinsk nuclear test site.
