Today, historical science on a global scale is going through a fundamentally new stage. This is due to the introduction of new theoreticaland methodological approaches to historical research, as well as the interdisciplinary nature of the development of science itself. In this matter, the diversity of approaches to the study of the imperial past, as well as the study of the colonial period in the history of Kazakhstan, requires the introduction of new approaches to foreign historiography and makes it possible to enter new directions in the same research space. For example, how colonial history expanded and added a global perspective to environmental history, thereby exploring the destructive forces of European colonialism and exploitation, as well as interactions with local environmental regimes. Alternatively, how, as a non-political phenomenon, the animal became one of the important areas of interest to the metropolis and the scientific world, and how veterinary medicine became one of the prisms through which historians can examine change and observe the changing relationship between rulers and ruled, between colonizers and colonized. This article is the result of those studies.

В статье анализируется комплекс собранных источников, для изучения вопроса становления и развития системы ветеринарной службы в Тургайской области, как колониального проекта, реализации прагматичных целей. Корпус источников представляют делопроизводственные документы, материалы исследований статистических и исследовательских экспедиций второй половины ХIX века, ряд научно-публицистических работ, и научных трудов проводников имперской политики, фольклорные и этнографические источники, которые классифицированы и разделены на несколько групп. Вследствие систематизации источников, по виду производства и присущего видения, условно были разделены на два корпуса разных мировоззрений. Соответствующие разделенному принципу источники, были классифицированы и выработаны для каждой группы источников общие принципы работы, и в зависимости от целевого предназначения, идейности и тематики источников, были подразделены на типы. Систематизация и классификация данных видов и типов, были дополнены анализом смысловых значений, жанровой специфики источников, изучающие причины, закономерности и их изменения. Что в свою очередь позволит, при использовании новых методов анализа источников, всесторонне исследовать проблему становления и развития ветеринарной службы в степи, которая привнесла трансформацию традиционного хозяйства казахов.
