6 ÖNSÖZ Artan dünya nüfusu ve gelir artışı ve kentleşme olgusu hayvancılık sektörünü tarımın en hızlı gelişen alt sektörü kılmıştır. Bu gelişmeler sonucu son çeyrek yüzyılda süt ürünleri tüketimi gelişmekte olan ülkelerin çoğunda artarken gelişmiş ülkelerde göreceli olarak sabit kalmıştır. Gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkeler arasındaki tüketim farkı giderek daralmaktadır. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki genel olarak hayvansal ürünler ve özel olarak süt ürünleri tüketim artışının başlıca nedeni ekonomik gelişmedir. Fert başına milli gelir düzeyi ile fert başına düşen hayvansal ürünler tüketimi birbiriyle ilişkili bulunmuştur. Gelişmekte olan ülkelerin fert başına günlük enerji alımı 1961 de 1861 kcal iken 2007 de 2651 kcal ye çıkmıştır. Bu değerler oransal olarak aynı dönemler için sırasıyla % 64 ve % 78 dir. Aynı dönemde hayvansal ürünler tüketimi süt için iki katına et için 5 katına çıkmıştır. Aksine bu dönemlerde kök ve yumru bitkiler tüketimi azalmıştır. Bir anlamda son çeyrek yüzyılda hububat kullanım alanı değişimi bakımından insan gıdası olmaktan çok et ve süt ürünleri bakımından hayvan gıdası olmak temayülündedir. Hayvansal ürünler nakliye maliyetlerindeki düşmeler uluslararası tarımsal ürünler ticaretini arttırmış 1961/2006 yılları arasında küresel tarım dış satımında et, yumurta süt ürünleri nispi miktarı % artmıştır. Bu oran büyük ölçüde et % 6 dolayında da süt ürünleri içindir. Süt ürünlerinin çoğu yerel olarak tüketilmekte % 13ü uluslararası ticarete konu olmaktadır. Hayvancılık sektöründeki büyümenin son 20 yıldaki talep artısının oluşturduğu düzeyden aşağıda olmak üzere devam etmesi beklenmektedir. Özellikle süt ürünleri üretim ve tüketim artışının sürmesi beklenmektedir. Hayvancılık sektöründeki yapısal değişim ve hızlı büyüme çevre koşulları insan ve hayvan sağılığında risklere de yol açabilmektedir. Hayvancılık sektörünün geleceği uluslararası toplumun kamu karar vericilerinin bu hususlara nasıl cevap vereceğine bağlı olacaktır. Hayvansal ürünlere olan artan talep gıda zincirindeki teknolojik değişimler üretim sistemlerinde önemli değişimlere yol açmıştır. Küçük ölçekli karma üretim sitemleri büyük ölçekli özelleşmiş üretim birimlerinde girdi satın alma maliyeti temelinde rekabet halindedir. Küçük ölçekli üretim modellerinin verimlilik ve gıda güvenliği esasına göre korunması desteklenmesi gerekmektedir. Çiftlik hayvanlarının genetik çeşitliliği gıda güvenliği ve kırsal kalkınma için oldukça önemli bir olgudur. İklim değişikliği doğal yaşam alanlarının yok olması, çevre koşullarında bozulma, artan nüfus baskısı tüketim taleplerindeki değişmeler çiftlik hayvanlarının genetik çeşitliliğini korumayı gerektirmektedir. Çiftlik hayvan ırklarında görülen genetik çeşitlilik deki azalma endişe verici orandadır. FAO raporlarına göre 2007 yılında Dünya üzerinde 7616 çiftlik hayvan ırkının % 22 sinin yok olma tehlikesi altında olduğu ifade edilmektedir. Geleneksel olarak hayvansal üretim sistemleri Dünyanın fakir kırsal kesiminin % 70 inin geçim kaynağını oluştururken et, süt ve yumurta için hızla büyüyen uluslararası gıda kaynağı sağlama süreci neticesinde büyük ölçekli işletmeler sayısı giderek artmaktadır. Hayvansal üretimde halen hayvan yemlerini üretmek bakımından küresel tarım bitkileri alanının üçte birini kullanılmaktadır. İklim değişikliği sosyoekonomik baskıların yol açtığı süreçle hayvansal üretimin arazi, su, enerji ve işçilik bakımından verimlilik arttırıcı bir nitelik kazanmasını gerektirmektedir. Kaliteli çiftlik hayvan ürünlerine olan büyüyen talebi karşılayabilmesi için hayvancılık sektöründe üretim girdilerinin en etkin kullanımının sağlanarak çevre ve dünya doğal kaynaklarına olan etkisini minimize ederek üretim verimliliğini özellikle küçük ve orta ölçekli üretim sistemlerinde arttırılması gerekmektedir. Küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerde verimlilik özellikle bilgi tecrübe uygun teknoloji eksikliği yanı sıra mal ve hizmet pazarına girme konusundaki yetersizlikler ve zayıf kurumsallaşma olgularının birleşik etkisi ile kısıtlanmaktadır. Bütün bu olgular neticesinde hem üretim hem de verimlilik potansiyelin altında gerçekleşmekte ve üretim kayıpları yüksek düzeyde olmaktadır. Hayvansal üretimde yerel yem kaynaklarının kullanımı ile hayvan sağlığına ilişkin düzenlemeler yerel koşullara adapte olmuş ırkların mevcudiyeti hayvancılık ürünleri -6-

7 muhafazası ve katma değer yaratıcı yerel koşullara uyarlanmış ileri teknolojilerle birlikte destekleme politikaları ve kurumları ile hayvansal üretim verimliliği önemli ölçüde artacak gelir getirici yoksulluğun azaltılmasına önemli katkılar yapacak potansiyele sahiptir. 20. yüzyılda hayvancılık sektöründeki ıslah sürecine ilişkin gelişmeler Dünya ölçeğinde çok az sayıda ırk üzerine yoğunlaşmış ve çoklukla yerel üretim koşullarının hayvanın üretim kabiliyetini etkileyeceği hususu göz önüne alınmaksızın geliştirmeler sağlanmıştır. Mevcut durumda değeri bilinmediği için üreticilerin çok az ilgisini çeken değerli yerli çiftlik hayvan ırklarının korunmasının geliştirilmesi sağlanmalıdır. Hızla gelişen moleküler genetik teknikler üreme biyoteknolojileri hayvan genetik kaynakları yönetimi konusunda önemli uygulama olanakları sunmaktadır. Küresel tarımsal işgücü dünyada 1.3 milyar insanı kapsamakta olup bu değer Dünya nüfusunu dörtte biri toplam işgücünün yarısıdır. Uluslararası toplumların 2007 de Dünya Gıda Tarım Örgütü (FAO) gıda ve tarım genetik kaynakları kurulusu marifetiyle uyarlanan Hayvan Genetik Kaynakları için küresel eylem planı Dünyadaki evcil çiftlik hayvan çeşitliliğinin yönetimi için önemli bir çerçeve sağlamaktadır. Birleşmiş Milletler Çevre Programı (UNEP) tarafından 1988 yılında bir özel projeyle biyoçeşitlilik üzerine uzmanlar grubu oluşturarak uzmanlar grubunun biyoçeşitliliğin sürdürülebilir kullanımı fayda ve maliyetlerinin gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerde paylaşılması için bir uluslararası anlaşma, mutabakat metnini hazırlama çalışmaları yürütülmüştür. Bu metin 1992 yılında Nairobi konferansında üye ülkelerin imzasına açıldı yılında Japonya nın Nagoya kentinde imzalandığı için Nagoya protokolü olarak da bilinen Birleşmiş Milletler Biyoçeşitlilik Sözleşmesi 10. Taraflar Konferansında yılı uluslararası biyoçeşitlilik 10 yılı ilan edilmiştir. Amaç 2020 yılına kadar dünyada biyoçeşitlilik kaybını durdurmak için biyoçeşitlilik strateji planı (Aichi hedefleri) kabul edilmiştir. beş stratejik amaç grubunda yirmi hedef olarak belirlenen bu ilkeler temelde biyoçeşitliliğin hükümet ve toplum içinde hakim anlayış haline getirerek biyoçeşitlilik kaybının temel nedenlerinin ele alınmasını amaçlamaktadır. FAO kaynaklarına göre günümüzde 1.3 milyar insanın halen günde bir doların altında gelirle yaşamını sürdürmeye çalıştığı ifade edilmektedir. Belirtilen yoksul kesimin %50-75 i özellikle geçimlerini tarımdan sağladığı düşünülürse tarım ve hayvancılıktaki gelişmelerin bu yoksulluğu azaltacak önemli işlev sağlayacağı anlaşılmaktadır. Üretimde verimlilik artışı konu ile ilgili mevcut bilgilerin bilinmesi ve paylaşılmasıyla sağlanabilecektir. Balkan Hayvancılık Kongresi bu süreçte Balkan Ülkeleri sektör paydaşlarına sektöre ilişkin bilgi ve tecrübelerini paylaşmak konusunda bir ortam sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu vesile ile bu amaca ulaşmak için destek veren tüm resmi ve özel kurum ve kuruluşlara da teşekkürlerimizi sunarız. Konferansımıza 14 farklı ülkeden toplam 176 bildiri ile çok sayıda bilim insanı katılmaktadır. Sunulan bildiriler Biyometri ve Genetik, Hayvan Yetiştirme ve Islahı ile Hayvan Besleme alt başlıkları altında 8 tanesi çağrılı bildiri 71 tanesi sözlü bildiri 105 tanesi poster bildiri sunulmuştur. Ayrıca konferans da sunulan bildiriler özet kitabı olarak basılacak ve CAB s tarafından indekslenecektir.. Düzenlenen konferansın kısaca tarihçesine değinilecek olursa Balkan Hayvancılık Konferansı (BALNIMALCON) ; Balkan zootekni kurumları ağı olarak her iki yılda bir farklı ülkede Balkan Hayvancılık Konferansı olarak organize edilmektedir. Bu konferanslardan birincisi 6-7 Mayıs 2001 de Tekirdağ da yapılmıştır. Bu konferanslardan ikincisi 2003 yılında Bükreş Romanya da, üçüncüsü 8-10 Şubat 2007 de Selanik Yunanistan da, dördüncüsü Mayıs 2009 da Stara Zagora Bulgaristan da, Beşincisi Mayıs 2011 de Bükreş Romanya da düzenlenmiştir.

9 PREFACE Increasing world s population, increase in income and the notion of urbanization have made the animal sector be the rapidly developing sub-sector of agriculture. As a result of these improvements, while the consumption of milk is increasing in developing countries, it has remained relatively stable in developed countries. The difference in consumption between developing and the developed countries is becoming narrow gradually. The main reason of the consumption increase in animal products especially in milk is the economic improvement. National income distribution per capita and the consumption of animal products per capita can be called as related. While the daily energy intake amount for per capita in developing countries was 1861 kcal in 1961, it was 2651 kcal in 2007 and proportionally these figures were 64 % and 78 % respectively. At the same period, the consumption of animal products doubled for milk and quintuple for meat. Conversely, the consumption of root and tuber crops decreased in this period. In a sense, there is an inclination in the change of the utilization area of cereals for animal feeding in terms of meat and milk products instead of human nutrient in the last quarter century. The decrease in the cost of the transportation of animal products has increased the international trade of agricultural products and the rate of global agricultural export for meat, egg and milk in other words it increased % between 1961/2006. This rate is largely made up of meat and 6 % of it is milk. Dairy products are mostly consumed locally and the 13 % of it is a matter of international trade. It is anticipated that the growth in animal sector will pursue on condition that it isn t below the level formed by the increase in the demand in the last 20 years. Especially, it is expected that the production and the consumption of dairy products will continue to rise. Structural change and fast-growing may result in the risks for the heath of both people and animals and the environment. Outlook of the animal sector will depend on how the international policy makers will respond to these matters. Increasing demand for the animal products and the technological changes in the food chain have caused important changes in production systems. Small scaled and combined production systems are in a manner of competition with large scaled, special production units on the basis of input and cost of purchase. It is necessary that the small scaled production models should be maintained and supported on the basis of efficiency and food safety. The genetic variability of livestock is a considerably significant matter of fact in terms of food safety and rural development. Climate change, annihilation of natural home range, deterioration of environmental conditions, influence of increasing population and changes in consumption demand necessitate the conservation of genetic variability of livestock. Decrease in genetic variability observed in the strain of livestock is at an alarming rate. According to the reports of FAO, it is stated that 22 % of 7616 livestock race all around the world is under the risk of being extinct in Traditionally, animal production systems constitute the source of income of the 70 % of the indigent countryside of the world. Furthermore, as a result of the process which aims to provide rapidly-growing international food source for meat, milk and egg, the number of the large-scaled enterprises are increasing. In the animal production, so as to produce animal feed, one third of the global agricultural land is still used. Because of the climate change and with the process which is influenced with sosyo-economic pressures, animal production is required to gain qualification which increases productivity in terms of land, water, energy and labour. In order to be able to meet the demand on higher quality of livestock products, the cost of production in livestock sector as well as the production productivity need to be enhanced in small and medium sized enterprises by providing the efficient use of production input and by minimizing its effect on the environment and the world s natural recourses. Efficiency of the small and medium sized enterprises is restricted not only because of the deficiency in -9-

10 information, experience and proper technology, but also because of the deficiency in goods and services market and the poor institutionalization. As a result of these matters, both the production and the efficiency result in below its potential and the loss of production occurs on a high level. The efficiency of animal production will significantly increase and there will be a great contribution to the reduction of yielding poverty thanks to the utilization of local feed recourses in animal production and the arrangements about animal health, presence of the breeds adapted to local conditions, maintenance of animal products, value-added creator, advanced technology adjusted to the local conditions. Developments about the process of rehabilitation in animal sector in 20th century focused mainly on a limited number of breed and the developments were generally implemented without considering the effect of local production conditions on the ability of animal production. In the current situation, improvement of the conservation of valuable, local livestock breed, which gets the little attention of the producers as the value isn t conceived, should be supported. Fast-growing molecular genetics techniques render important application opportunities on reproduction biotechniques and the management of animal genetics resources. Global agricultural labour includes 1.3 billion of people all around the world and this number is one fourth of the world population and the half of total labour force. Global course of action for the Animal Genetics Resources adapted by means of the Institution of Food and Agricultural Genetics Resources and the international societies in 2007 renders an important framework for domestic animal variability in the world. An international agreement and a study of preparing resolution text are conducted by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 1988 by forming a group of experts on bio-diversity in a special project in order to share sustainable utilization of bio-diversity, its benefits and the costs in developing and developed countries. The text was open for signature to member countries at the Nairobi conference in The United Nations Biodiversity Contract, also known as Nagoya Protocol as signed in Nagoya, Japan in 2010, was declared to be a 10-year of international bio-diversity from 2011 to 2020 at the 10th Parties Conference. Bio-diversity strategic plan (Aichi goals) was accepted so as to cease the loss of bio-diversity until These principles, defined as 20 goals in a group of 5 strategic aims, aspire to deal with the main reasons of loss of bio-diversity by conveying the bio-diversity as a prevalent understanding for the government and the society. According to the FAO resources, it is stated that 1,3 billion of people today try to survive with an income which is below one dollar per day. Considering % of the stated people living in poverty make their ends with agriculture, it is understood that improvements in the fields of animal and agriculture will provide an important function for the reduction of poverty. Increase in production efficiency will enable to know the existing knowledge related to the subject and to share. In this period, Balkan Animal Science Conference aims to provide an environment for sharing the experience and the knowledge related to the sector with sector partners. A great number of scientists from 14 different countries with 176 presentation are going to attend our conference. The presentations presented at the conference are on Biometry and Genetics, Animal Breeding and Improvement, and under the subtitle of Animal Feeding, 8 of which are invited presentations, 71 of which are verbal presentations and 105 of which are poster presentations. Besides, the presentations presented at the conference will be published as an abstract book and will be indexed by CAB s. Brief history of Balkan Animal Science Conference (BALNIMALCON) is that it is organized with the name Balkan Animal Science Conference biennially in a different country -10-

11 as Balkan enterprise network of Department of Animal Science. First organization was held in Tekirdağ, on 6-7 May, Second organization of these conferences took place in Bucharest, Romania in The third conference was in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2007.The fourth one was in Stara Zagora, Bulgaria in May, 2009 and the fifth one was in Bucharest, Romania on May, Nearly 200 participants, 50 of whom foreign scientists and who deal with the department of zoo techniques attended to the conferences. The presentation which were presented at all the conferences can be attained from the website; balnimalcon.nku.edu.tr At the first Balkan Animal Science Conference, 77 presentations were submitted and 250 participants attended. At the second Balkan Animal Science Conference 105 presentations were discussed during the 6 sessions. At the Thessaloniki Conference, which was held as the third Balkan Animal Science Conference, 60 presentations were discussed. During the Bulgaria Conference, which was on May, 2009, 76 presentations were presented. The theme of the Conference which took place in Bulgaria was the role of the science and cooperation in the developments of Balkan Animal Industry. At the Balkan Animal Science Conference which was the fifth and which was held in Bucharest, Romania in 2011, 92 presentations were presented. One of the aims of this occasion is to develop the potential cooperation and the information exchange by congregating the partners of animal sector in Balkan countries. With this aim, an International Regulatory Board, constituted by prominent scientists who represent their country in animal sector, was founded. Furthermore, a Science Board was founded by the scientists who represent the departments from various areas within the country. By means of International Regulatory Board s party piece, all the announcements were declared in communication medium of various panels in other countries. Balkan Animal Science Conference makes a study of exchanging and developing both information and education in the field of animal besides improving international cooperation among the various sector partners, the researchers of the corporations and institutions in animal sector of zoo techniques of Balkan countries. Balkan Animal Science Conference adopts the cooperation among Balkan countries on the basis of animal science as a principle. Furthermore, Balkan Animal Science Conference is also supported by European Association for Animal Production; EAAP. Moreover, prior to the conference young scientists of the country and well known scientists such as Prof. Dr. Horia Grosu and Prof. Dr. Sorin Lungu will present their knowledge at the workshops related to the genetic relations among the individuals and the appraisal value methods of breeding. Besides, Prof. Dr. Alessio Valentini will submit his knowledge on the subjects related to auxiliary selections and markers of animal improvement. Also, on the first day of the Conference, representatives of institutions such as Food and Agriculture Organization and European Livestock Genetic Recourses Protection will make presentations on Genomic Selection and Traditional Selection Theory as a part of invited presentations. Our University, which inaugurated the scientific cooperation with a pioneering enterprise in 2001, will embody the notion of sustainable scientific cooperation among Balkan countries by means of holding another conference in It is a gratifying fact that there have been applications apart from Balkan countries, which means that the effect of the conference has been promoted all around the world. Ultimately, we express our sincere thanks to all who contributed to attain desired aims and make the conference take place. Prof. Dr. M. İhsan SOYSAL On behalf of Organizing Committee -11-
