In addition, the agreement provides for the exchange of information by the EAEU member states on pedigree animals and breeding achievements.

"The agreement is aimed at implementing the agreed agro-industrial policy on the issues of pedigree breeding with agricultural animals within the EAEU, including through the unification of testing of the created types, breeds and crossbreeding of farm animals, as well as molecular genetic examination of breeding products, determining the breed of pedigree animals and assessing their pedigree value," the Minister of Agriculture of Kazakhstan said.
