The Kushum horse breed is very popular in Kazakhstan due to its adaptability to local conditions and high meat and dairy qualities. Obtaining new intra-breed types of this breed is necessary to improve the genetic potential and achieve high indicators of meat and dairy productivity. The purpose of this study was to develop a new intra-breed type “Mamyr-Aktobe”. Breeding work was carried out with the following livestock of the producing composition n=318, including stallions 18 animal units, mares – 300 units. The genealogical structure of promising branches of breeding lines of Kushum horses has been analysed, and their meat and milk parameters were evaluated. Adult stallions of the new intra-breed type have high measurements and live weight: the average height at the withers is 157.9cm, the oblique length of the trunk is 163.5cm, the chest and pastern girth are 205.2 and 22cm, respectively, the live weight is 656.2kg, and the massiveness index is 149.3%. For mares, the average height at the withers is 152.5cm, the indicator of the oblique length of the trunk is 160.2cm. The circumference of the chest and pastern is 188.7 and 20cm, respectively. On average, mares of the new intra-breed type weigh 529kg, and their massiveness index is 139%. Based on these characteristics, the new intra-breed type “Mamyr-Aktobe” can be used to improve the breeding qualities of the Kushum horse breed, as well as in meat and dairy farming.
