A New Intra-Breed Type, “Mamyr-Aktobe,” of the Kushum Breed of Horses of the Aktobe Population.
Abstract: The Kushum breed is one of the top breeds in the structure of horse breeds in the Aktobe region. In terms of numbers, it ranks third after the Kazakh and Mugalzhar breeds. The Kushum breed in the Aktobe region compares favorably with a number of horse-draft factory breeds in terms of early maturity, fertility, high meat, milk productivity, and economy of keeping. This article describes a new intra-breed type, the "Mamyr-Aktobe" type of the Kushum horse breed of the Aktobe population. The structure of the intra-breed type of Mamyr-Aktobe of the Kushum breed includes three factory lines of stallions: 118 Krepysh 33-64, 116 Grom 98-58, and 137 Samotsvet 77-73 tested in 2010 and 2015 (Samotsvet) and patents No. 187,186 and No. 586were obtained for them. Adult stallions of a new intra-breed type are characterized by high measurements and live weight: 159.7-165.3-202.5-21.0 cm and 626.5 kg and massiveness - 153.8 and exceed the breed standard in live weight by 126.5 kg or by 25.3%, according to the massiveness index by 31.8%, and mares, respectively: 155.2-159.1-187.8-19.8 cm and 531.0 kg and massiveness - 165.2 and also exceed the breed standard in terms of live weight by 71.0 kg or 15.4% and terms of massiveness index by 7.9%.

The study focuses on the discovery and analysis of a new intra-breed type, the “Mamyr-Aktobe”, of Kushum breed horses in the Aktobe region. This novel type is richer in measurements, live weight, and massiveness, indiating enhanced maturity, fertility, meat and milk productivity, and economical upkeep compared to other horse-draft breeds in the region.
Introduction to Kushum Breed and the Aktobe Region
- The Kushum breed is a highly esteemed breed of horses among those in the Aktobe region, coming third in population size after the Kazakh and Mugalzhar breeds.
- The breed triumphs over several horse-draft factory breeds concerning early maturity, fertility, and high production of meat and milk, along with being cost-effective to maintain.
Description of the New Intra-Breed Type
- The research discusses a newfound intra-breed type of the Kushum horse breed known as the Mamyr-Aktobe.
- This Mamyr-Aktobe type is part of the Kushum breed’s structure and comprises three factory lines of stallions: 118 Krepysh 33-64, 116 Grom 98-58, and 137 Samotsvet 77-73. These were tested in 2010 and 2015 for Samotsvet and patented after successful tests.
Characteristics of the Mamyr-Aktobe Type
- The adult stallions of this new intra-breed type show high measurements and live weight, ranging from 159.7 cm to 165.3 cm, and weighing an average of 626.5 kg. They also demonstrate high massiveness, clocking in at 153.8.
- The Mamyr-Aktobe exceeds the breed standard for live weight by 126.5 kg, which equates to an increase of 25.3% and the massiveness index by 31.8%.
- The mares match the above attributes too, reaching dimensions of 155.2 cm to 159.1 cm, and weighing in at 531.0 kg, with a massiveness index of 165.2.
- The weight of mares surpasses the breed standard by 71.0 kg, or 15.4%, and in terms of massiveness index by 7.9%, denoting a substantial improvement.
