This study aimed to isolate and study several pathogenic clostridia in the Republic of Kazakhstan and to statistically analyze disease outbreaks in each of the regions. Thus, in 2021 and 2022, by taking samples from several regions of the country and subjecting them to bacteriological examination using methods of sampling on Kitt-Tarozzi medium, identification of isolated cultures under the microscope, culture on glucose-blood agar, and conducting bioassays on guinea pigs, several key factors were identified. The result was the characterization of the main cultural and morphological properties of bacteria of the genus Clostridium, such as Cl. perfringens (types A, B, SVT, and D), Cl. septicum 1098, and Cl. oedematiens 34. Also, it was found that the Republic of Kazakhstan was favorable in terms of Bradsotome and anaerobic enterotoxaemia outbreaks. In the last 10 years, there have been only 15, mostly isolated, cases of radsotum in sheep. Anaerobic enterotoxaemia is similar, with 44 cases in 10 years. The only exception was Zhambyl oblast, where the number of cases was 34 (1-8 cases per year). Such statistics are attributed to the continuous vaccination of sheep in unfavorable areas and even areas outside the risk zone. The data will provide insights for improving disease control strategies and can serve as a vaccination impact model for other countries’ agricultural settings.
