At the next meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers of Turkmenistan, issues of maintaining breeding purity and increasing the number of Ahal-Teke horses were discussed, TDH writes.

As Deputy Prime Minister T. Atahallyev reported, genetic analysis of horses is being carried out in the laboratory of the Research and Production Center for Horse Breeding of the State Association “Turkmen Horses” in the city of

Arkadag to preserve their purebred. Scientific research is also being conducted related to the development of horse breeding and the improvement of the color of the Ahal-Teke horses.
