Possessing high meat and dairy productivity and good reproductive and adaptive qualities to year-round grazing, the Kushum breed plays an exceptional role in the improvement of productive qualities in horse herding in Kazakhstan and the former Soviet republics. The aim of the study was to develop breeding methods for creating new highly productive breeding lines for the Kushum breed horses. The leading method was linebreeding, which is based on the systematic use of remarkable animals, the offspring of which will accumulate and develop all the desired qualities and traits. The practical significance of the study lies in the fact that new highly productive breeding lines of the Kushum horse have been created. On this basis, a new intra-breed type of horses with increased live weight, high productivity and adaptive qualities for winter grazing in the Republic of Kazakhstan was created. The results of the study were introduced in farms engaged in breeding Kushum horses. Highly productive stallions of the Kushum breed of new genotypes are sold in horse breeding farms of the republic. These studies are used in the development of a comprehensive plan for selection and breeding work and a scientifically grounded system for conducting productive horse breeding in the Republic of Kazakhstan. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the creation of new highly productive breeding lines of stallions of the Kushum breed Krepysh and Grom, as well as in substantiating the creation of the Samotsvet line with high adaptive qualities.
