The decree also outlines the establishment of new entities, including regional pasture management enterprises and the creation of a Pasture Development Department within the Committee for Veterinary Medicine. These measures aim to enhance the management and sustainable use of pasturelands.

By December 1, 2025, the E-yaylov electronic platform is expected to be launched, enabling more efficient pasture use and promoting transparency in their distribution. Pastures will be available for lease for up to 49 years.

A national commission will oversee issues related to pasture protection, the development of karakul sheep farming, and the leather and wool industries.
