In the breeding farm «Alem» highly productive mares were raiced, replacement foals were raiced from them, where, with the right selection, a great effect was obtained when breeding by families. The most interesting in the Kushum breed are highly productive mares under inventory numbers 32-93; 26-95 and 27-97 from the line of the stallion Zamantory 69-84, as well as mares ubder inventory numbers 70-92; 98-93 and 86-95 from the line of the stallion Doskuren 83-85. The offspring from the ancestors of the two created factory lines have improved productivity indicators for desirable traits. The average live weight of representatives of families from 533.0 kg to 564.3 kg, and in the Doskuren 83-85 line, the average live weight ranges from 524.4 kg to 552.3 kg.
