Integrated Animal Health and Welfare Program
01.2024 - 10.2025
Company Overview: (2024-Ongoing)
The aim of this program is to enable organizations to create a management system in which all factors that will directly or indirectly affect animal health and welfare are addressed and evaluated, and at the same time to control and evaluate the applicability of this system in the field.
As a result of the inspections and experiences I have carried out in the fields so far, I felt the need to create this program because I saw that 'Animal Welfare' inspections were not carried out in accordance with their purpose and did not benefit organizations and consumers.
The reason why it is called Integrated Animal Health and Welfare Program is because health and welfare conditions are interconnected.
Within the scope of the program, all control and certification forms and program policy guide have been prepared by me and within this scope, 1 cattle dairy farm has been checked and certified with this scope.

Company Overview: A2 Milk Project (2022-2023)
Raw milk scientifically has two types, A1 and A2. This diversification is entirely related to the Beta Casein it contains.
In order to sell the raw milk produced by Efeler Farm, which is one of the largest dairy farms in terms of the number of animals in Turkey, within the scope of A2 milk, measures have been taken to ensure the separation of the animals producing this milk in the enterprise and their shelters, and to separate A2 milk from other milk and ensure that it does not mix.
Samples were taken from the milk at regular intervals and sent to TUBITAK and analyzed. In addition, a project was created by establishing a traceability system and the company's control activities were carried out with the guide and control criteria prepared within the scope of this project.
