Hayvancılıkta Seleksiyon Programlarında Biyoekonomik Modelleme Yaklaşımı

Abstract

Biyoekonomi, biyolojik kaynakların üretimi, kullanımı ve yönetimi süreçlerini ekonomik değerlerle ilişkilendirerek sürdürülebilir kalkınma hedeflerine katkı sağlamayı amaçlayan disiplinler arası bir yaklaşımdır. Bu kapsamda, hayvancılık sektörü biyoekonominin önemli uygulama alanlarından biri olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Özellikle hayvan ıslahı ve seleksiyon programlarında, genetik ilerlemeye yön veren özelliklerin ekonomik önem derecelerinin belirlenmesi, ıslah hedeflerinin rasyonel bir biçimde tanımlanabilmesi açısından kritik bir rol oynamaktadır. Genetik değerlerin sadece biyolojik etkilerine değil, aynı zamanda ekonomik katkılarına göre değerlendirilmesi, daha etkin ve sürdürülebilir üretim sistemlerinin tasarlanmasına olanak tanımaktadır. Biyoekonomik modelleme, üretim sistemlerinde yapılacak genetik ve yönetimsel iyileştirmelerin olası sonuçlarını hem biyolojik hem de ekonomik açıdan analiz edebilmek için güçlü bir araçtır. Bu modeller, sistemin farklı bileşenleri arasındaki etkileşimleri matematiksel olarak temsil ederek, karar vericilere stratejik planlama süreçlerinde destek sunmakta ve gelecekte karşılaşılabilecek belirsizliklerin simüle edilmesini mümkün kılmaktadır. Bu derleme çalışmasında, biyoekonomik modelleme yaklaşımlarının teorik temelleri, hayvancılık üretim sistemlerindeki uygulama alanları ve özellikle seleksiyon programlarındaki işlevi güncel literatür ışığında kapsamlı şekilde incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, biyoekonomik modellerin hayvancılıkta ekonomik verimliliği artırmak, kaynak kullanımını optimize etmek ve sürdürülebilirlik hedeflerine ulaşmak adına stratejik bir araç olarak önemli katkılar sunduğunu ortaya koymaktadır.

Bioeconomic Modeling Approach in Livestock Selection Programs

Abstract

Bioeconomics is an interdisciplinary field that aims to contribute to sustainable development goals by linking the production, utilization, and management of biological resources with their economic value. Within this framework, the livestock sector emerges as one of the key areas of application for bioeconomic approaches. Particularly in animal breeding and selection programs, identifying the economic significance of traits that drive genetic progress plays a crucial role in the rational formulation of breeding objectives. Evaluating genetic values not only based on their biological effects but also on their economic contributions facilitates the design of more effective and sustainable production systems. Bioeconomic modeling serves as a robust tool for analyzing the potential biological and economic outcomes of genetic and managerial improvements within production systems. These models mathematically represent the interactions among various components of the system, support decision-makers in strategic planning processes, and enable the simulation of uncertainties that may arise in the future. This review study comprehensively examines the theoretical foundations of bio-economic modelling approaches, their areas of application within livestock production systems, and particularly their role in selection programs, in light of the current literature. The findings indicate that bioeconomic models serve as a strategic tool in livestock production by enhancing economic efficiency, optimizing resource use, and contributing significantly to the achievement of sustainability goals.
