Kyrgyzstan plans to restore state horse breeding farms as part of efforts to preserve and revive the gene pool of the Kyrgyz horse. Agriculture Minister Bakyt Torobaev announced this during his visit to the Center for the Development of Ethnic Culture, Horse Sports Industry, and Purebred Horse Breeding in Cholpon-Ata. The initiative aims to improve the breeding and productive qualities of horses using genetic and modern biotechnological methods.

Horse breeding in Kyrgyzstan currently produces around 30,000 tons of live weight meat and 5,000–6,000 tons of mare’s milk annually, used for kumys. Meat breeds constitute 26–30 percent of the total horse population, while others are bred for national and classic sports. The restoration of state farms is seen as crucial to supporting both the agricultural and sports sectors linked to horse breeding.
