Öğe Analysis of Different Production Systems in Laying Hen Enterprises with Analytic Hierarchy Process in Turkey(Facta-Fundacio Arnco Ciencia Tecnologia Avicolas, 2021) Tuncel, Seyfettin; Sipahi, Cevat; Akçay, Aytaç; Altın, Oğuz; Sariozkan, S.; Gökdai, A.; Sarıhan Şahin, TuğbaThe present study aimed to evaluated the enterprises engaged in conventional cage, enriched cage, free-range and organic egg production in Turkey in terms of four different criteria (profit, investment cost, animal welfare/health and sales/marketing) using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). For this purpose, the questionnaires through face-to-face interviews were conducted with a total of 64 producers who had been determined by random sampling method from 5 different regions included 17 Provinces between November 2016 and March 2019, and primary data were obtained. As a result, it has been found strategically significant that enterprises, to be engaged at the level of 47.0%, 20.0%, 18.0% and 15.0% in conventional, enriched, free-range and organic cage systems, respectively, in the market in terms of profit, investment cost, animal welfare/health and sales /marketing criteria. In addition, in the enterprises within the scope of the research, the profit, investment cost, sales/marketing and animal welfare/health criteria were determined as the dominant criteria at the level of 53.5%, 22.0%, 13.5% and 11.0% respectively. In conclusion, the conventional cage system is dominant with the rates of 55.0% for profit and 53.0% for investment cost criteria, and both of the conventional and enriched systems in terms of sales/marketing criteria are 38.5% dominant and the organic system in terms of animal welfare/health is 46.0% dominant.Öğe An Evaluation of the Market Strategies and Decisions of the Contracted Broiler Enterprises in Bolu, Sakarya and Ankara via Analytical Hierarchy Process(Gorgan Univ Agricultural Sciences & Natural Resources, 2021) Tuncel, Seyfettin; Eren, Tamer; Gür, Şeyda; Şen, Gökhan; Sipahi, CevatThis study was performed to evaluate the decisions of the contracted broiler enterprises for the integrated company selection in terms of 5 criteria (C1: Stability, C2: Crisis management, C3: Profitability C4: Flexibility, C5: Supply). In this study, 68 enterprises were selected with stratified random sampling among the broiler enterprises, operating in Sakarya (12.0%), Bolu (11.0%) and Ankara (3.2%) those constitute 24.2% of contracted broiler enterprises in Turkey in 2017. The research was conducted with two large scales (A and B) and two small scales (C and D) integrated companies in the broiler sector, where broiler enterprises produce under a contract. According to these 5 criteria, the optimum selection of integrated companies of broiler enterprises among A, B, C, and D was analyzed using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). As a result of the analysis, the importance level of C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5 criteria among 5 criteria was found strategically significant at 46.0%, 20.0%, 18.0%, 10.0% and 6.0%, respectively. Thus, Cl criterion was determined as the most dominant criterion. The selection weights of integrated companies A, B, C, and D were 34.5%, 36.7%, 12.6% and 17.1%, respectively. This result shows that working with large-scale A and B integrated companies is strategically advantageous for broiler enterprises.Öğe Animal welfare practices in livestock farms from the perspective of veterinarians: Northeast Anatolia region in Turkiye(South African Society for Animal Science, 2024) Ayvazoğlu Demir, P.; Gültekin, A. KoçThe aim of this study was to determine the opinions of veterinarians providing clinical services in the northeast Anatolia region regarding the compliance of enterprises in the region with animal welfare standards. A survey was sent to veterinarians working in the region, and 82 participants provided feedback on a voluntary basis. The survey questions were designed using the principles of "Animal Welfare" and the "Animal Needs Index," and the prepared questionnaire consisted of five main headings: "good nutrition, good shelter, appropriate behaviour, good care, and good health." Closed-ended questions were used with a five-point Likert scale to determine the views of veterinarians and thoughts on practices related to animal welfare in the region. According to the perceptions of veterinarians, enterprises in the region were considered "somewhat appropriate" in terms of animal welfare criteria for care, feeding, animal behaviour, and health practices. However, it was observed that enterprises were not compliant with animal welfare criteria in terms of shelter flooring, bedding, ventilation, appropriate rations, silage use, body-udder hygiene, vaccine-parasite-drug-herd management, and some diseases. It was determined that a substantial portion of livestock enterprises in the region faced difficulties in implementing animal welfare criteria. In this context, it is believed that addressing the current deficiencies of enterprises, increasing support and incentives to enhance animal welfare, and providing technical assistance to breeders will help overcome the challenges. It is important for veterinarians to inform and guide breeders regarding animal welfare practices within the framework of the breeder–veterinarian relationship. © 2024, South African Journal for Animal Science.
