Kazakhstan has launched a voluntary pet insurance system, providing a 50% subsidy on premiums for any risks, including infectious diseases, theft, and natural disasters. The program, operated by the Baiterek Holding's subsidiary, covers domestic animals with a minimum of 30 heads, and costs between 1.5 to 5% of the insured value. So far, the program has received 3.4 billion tenge from the state budget and has insured over 10,000 heads of cattle and over 1 million birds, with subsidies totaling almost 54 million tenge.
