Hygiene Conditions and Animal-Environment Relations in Farm Animals Barns

Abstract

In all type farms, animal health and the environment represents a major component, besides feeding, genetics and management quality. A healthy animal can only be grown in health and hygienic conditions. Health and environmental hygiene should not be ignored feature of the all types of farm production process quality. Animal health and care can be solved by prevention applications, vaccination strategies, disease reduction precautions and risk management approaches. Animal health - care management strategies and risk applications, several animal hygiene issues, have not been widely adopted and it is not known to most businesses yet. Appropriate animal health-care takes into consideration not only the zootechnical and veterinary affairs, but also the disease aspects and environmental hygiene conditions, economic relevances and furthermore product-production process quality related features. Enterprise-level hygiene covering all farm units is an important indicator of welfare for farm animals and is mostly dependent on facilities, management strategies of enterprise owners, climate conditions, and the behavior of the animals. According to the information given above, the objective of this study is to determine the associations between farm animal (cattle, sheep and chicken) behaviors, barn hygiene, animal hygiene, environmental conditions and the qualities of experiencing in Turkey.
