Turkmenistan Bestows Honorary Titles on Leading Specialists in the Equine Industry
24 Apr. 04:00On the occasion of the National Feast of the Turkmen Steed, the President of Turkmenistan signed a decree awarding the honorary title of "Honored Horse Breeder of Turkmenistan" to several distinguished citizens. The decree recognizes their exceptional contributions to promoting the global prestige of Akhal-Teke horses and their dedicated efforts in preserving the pedigree and unique characteristics of this world-renowned breed. This state recognition highlights the importance of the equine sector as a cornerstone of national heritage and economic pride.
The recipients of these prestigious awards include both public sector employees from international equestrian complexes and independent private breeders. This inclusive approach demonstrates the state's commitment to supporting diverse professional activities aimed at modernizing the industry. The awarded individuals have demonstrated exemplary skill and long-term commitment to advancing equine production standards and ensuring the sustainability of traditional breeding methods.
The distribution of the titles across various regions, including the capital Ashgabat as well as the Balkan and Dashoguz provinces, reflects the widespread nature of the country's horse-breeding infrastructure. Each awardee has played a pivotal role in maintaining the biological purity and aesthetic excellence of the "heavenly horses." Their work is instrumental in fostering international partnerships and showcasing the nation's expertise in specialized animal husbandry.
Such high-level official recognition serves as an incentive for current and future generations of specialists to maintain the highest standards of professional excellence. The enhancement of the domestic equine industry remains a strategic priority, focusing on both cultural preservation and the promotion of equestrian sports. This presidential decree reinforces the systematic support provided to those who ensure the continuous development of Turkmenistan's elite equine traditions.


Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.
Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.
This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
