According to him, the project will be implemented in stages. In the allocated territories, in accordance with international requirements, veterinary control points and laboratories will be opened, protective structures will be built on pastures, and new technologies will be introduced to increase the productivity and competitiveness of products.

In quarantine zones, animals will be regularly examined by veterinarians to prevent the spread of infectious diseases. This will create conditions for the sustainable export of meat and meat products that meet international hygiene requirements, the ministry added. The measures taken will help to avoid excessive growth of livestock, which will reduce the pressure on pastures. The government expects to increase the number of jobs in the border areas and increase the income of pastoralists.

In the west of Mongolia, Khovd aimag (region), bordering China, Uvs and Bayan-Ulgi aimag, where the border with Russia also passes, are defined as quarantine zones. In the central regions, Bulgan and Khubsugul aimags were selected, where there are border checkpoints in the Russian Federation. In the east of the country, zones will be set up in the Khentii aimag bordering Russia and Dornod aimag (formerly Vostochny), which has borders with both the Russian Federation and China.
