This paper aims to highlight the situation of brucellosis infection in the Republic of Kazakhstan. To achieve the goal, methods of analysis, regression analysis, and statistical processing were used. The study of brucellosis prevalence revealed that geographical features play a key role: small ruminants are usually preferred in mountainous and arid areas, while highland areas are chosen for cattle. Cattle infections are particularly high in areas located in western, northern, eastern Kazakhstan, and Turkestan. Notably, the maximum number of brucellosis cases among sheep and goats was recorded in the south-eastern regions. Identified as critical, risk factors include large herds and management practices such as lack of veterinary and sanitary facilities and their poor sanitary condition, which increase the chances of spreading the disease. Meat and mixed herds were also found to be more susceptible to the disease compared to dairy herds, and environmental factors, including the presence of unfavorable areas and the use of rented pastures, further increase the risk of spread of infection.
