The company includes 7 modern dairy farms with 11,128 head of cattle, including 4,452 milking cows. The average milk yield per feed cow reaches 6,320 kg, and 28,525 tonnes of milk were produced since the beginning of 2025.
The enterprise demonstrates consistently high results: the yield of cereals is 36.9 centners per hectare, oilseeds 24.3 centners per hectare, fodder 78.15 centners per hectare, and potatoes 335.38 centners per hectare. Since the early 90s, potatoes have been grown here using Dutch technology.
The enterprise continues to implement a large-scale project for the construction of the Zenchenko and Co. LP mega-farm, which will be the region's most modern and technological livestock complex.
The new facility, with a capacity of 25 thousand tonnes of milk per year, is expected to become the core for forming the dairy cluster of the North Kazakhstan region.
110 dairy farms operate in the region, 42 of which are modern high-tech complexes equipped with automated control systems.
