In this review, it is aimed to determine the
criteria to be used in the evaluation of cow comfort and biosecurity rules,
determination of application level of criteria and as a result, what required
preventive will be taken in dairy cattle enterprises. These criteria are
determined and measured by scientific variables. In this study, 40 criteria
were determined to measure biosecurity and animal welfare in livestock
enterprises. Biosecurity criteria and animal welfare standards are used to evaluate
the quality and security of dairy cattle enterprises. The evaluation of these
criteria is important for easy applicability. The necessary prevention will be
taken by reporting the cost of the negative criteria to the farmers and thus
the scoring of the enterprise will reach the highest level. It is important to
obtain a high score from this evaluation, to have the licensing of the
enterprises and the certificate of the disease-free enterprises.
