The Global Epidemic and Effects on Turkey Livestock

Abstract

In this study, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic process on farm animals in our country were evaluated. The situation in our country has been revealed by examining the available resources on this subject. In addition, information on the characteristics of the COVID-19 agent and the differences between animal species was given, and the production of cattle, sheep, poultry and bee products was examined by examining the number of farm animals. The Covid-19 outbreak has revealed the importance of the food and livestock industry. The continuation of production in the livestock sector prevented a possible food crisis. The Covid 19 epidemic has had some effects on livestock in our country, and there has been an increase in costs along with the global markets. Unfortunately, the increase in costs still continues and puts the producer in a difficult situation. This study has been prepared to contribute to the literature by compiling data on the effects of COVID-19 in the livestock sector and animals.
