Evaluation of the Cattle Farms for Biosecurity and Animal Welfare in Sanliurfa Province

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the problems with respect to biosecurity and animal welfare in Sanliurfa province as well as to propose solutions to these problems. In this study data obtained by questionaire from 66 dairy and beef cattle farms registered to province of “TÜRKVET” system of Sanliurfa were used for the year 2013. The level of biosecurity and animal welfare conditions in these farms were analyzed based on 29 criteria. In 62,1% and 37,9% these farms dairy cattle and beef cattle were raised, respectively. 17,5% of the stables were closed while 82,5% of the stables were of corral barn. An office for administrator was found in 40,9% of the farms, while it was absent in 59,1% of the farms. A security camera was present in 18,2% at the entrance of the farms which possesed an administrative office. An internal training for the personal was performed in 22,7% of the farms. The rate of the farms keeping internal recors was 59,1%. Mean costs due to veterinary treatments and drugs were 5,2% of total expenditure. Annual calf mortality ranged from 5% to 20%. The results of this study indicated that farmers in Sanliurfa obtained no technical information or consulting service about biosecurity and animal welfare and raised their animals in stables which were built traditionally, as they saw from their ancestors. Veterinarians should be assigned in order to inform the farmers on the importance of biosecurity and animal welfare programs.
