Scientific support of the Alakol-Agro enterprise is carried out by employees of the West Kazakhstan Agrarian Technical University. According to the owner Baurzhan Kenesbekovich Ospanov, only close cooperation between business and science can bring excellent results in all areas, including agriculture.

All horses in the herd are represented by the local Kazakh horse breed. Stallions-producers of the Mugalzhar breed.

All herds graze on high mountain pastures (dzhailau) from late May to September, after which they will gradually descend and by early November they will be already on winter pastures in the steppe.

For one herd (1000 heads) in the state there is one senior herdsman and three herd assistants. The average fecundity in a herd is 75-78 foals per 100 heads, but there are times when it reaches 95 foals. A feature of horses on the farm is that shoals can graze both separately and as part of a herd. In total, there are 15 herds on the farm, with a total population of 20,000 horses.

The farm develops work in the meat direction of horse breeding, the meat yield with good fatness of horses reaches 60% percent, with an average level of 57-58%. The stock of fat in the abdominal cavity reaches up to 60 kg, which makes it possible to endure the harsh Kazakh winters without additional feeding.

Alpine pastures extend up to the glaciers from which the Lepsy River originates. The higher the mountains, the lower the grass yield, for example, at an altitude of 2700-3000 meters, in the area of ​​​​ur. Jamantas yield is 4-5 centners per hectare, this is not much, as the climate becomes harsher with climb.

Senior herdsman Baurzhan used to be a successful entrepreneur, but after a heart attack he was forced to reconsider his lifestyle. Mountain air, physical work and organic food improved my health. Baurzhan notes that saumal (fresh milk of mares) was a good addition to recovery, a glass of which he drank after each milking. It is not for nothing that for many years there have been various scientific works and systems of treatment with the help of saumal.
