Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to reveal the animal welfare levels in Akkaraman sheep breed in Türkiye. In this direction, welfare assessment was carried out at the farm level with the Animal Needs Index (ANI 35L/2000) method in a total of 71 Akkaraman sheep flock applications on animals were carried out on a total of 1525 sheep. According to the ANI score scale, the average score of all farms was determined as 39.52. In the study, welfare scores were found as 38.32, 41.47, and 38.78 in Çankırı, Çorum and Kırşehir provinces, respectively (p = 0.034); it was found as 39.70, 40.14, and 38.69 in small (≤100), medium (100-200) and large (>200) farms (p = 0.535), respectively. While the Famacha and Fecal scores of sheep were found to be low score in sheep raised in Çankırı than in sheep raised in other two cities, the differences were found to be statistically significant in both parameters (p = 0.007 and 0.021). As a result, it has been observed that having opportunity for animals to go out to yard and pasture has a positive effect on animal welfare.

对土耳其各省阿卡拉曼绵羊养殖场的动物福利调查。

本研究旨在揭示土耳其阿卡拉曼绵羊品种的动物福利水平。为此，采用动物需求指数（ANI 35L/2000）方法对 71 个阿卡拉曼绵羊场的 1525 只绵羊进行了动物福利评估。根据 ANI 评分标准，所有农场的平均得分被确定为 39.52 分。研究发现，恰克勒省、乔伦省和克谢希尔省的福利评分分别为 38.32、41.47 和 38.78（p = 0.034）；小型（≤100）、中型（100-200）和大型（>200）农场的福利评分分别为 39.70、40.14 和 38.69（p = 0.535）。与其他两个城市相比，Çankırı 地区饲养的绵羊的 Famacha 和粪便评分较低，但这两个参数的差异具有统计学意义（p = 0.007 和 0.021）。结果表明，让动物有机会到院子和牧场活动对动物福利有积极影响。
