Livestock breeding in our country is developing rapidly in parallel with the developments in other fields, and therefore traditional and local breeding units are being replaced by modern livestock breeding units with larger capacities. While many computerized farms are being established in cattle breeding, integrated organizations in the poultry sector are focusing on broadcasting technical and field services. Again, as a result of cultural development, the number of household and pet animals is increasing rapidly. In addition, the need for technical staff in veterinary clinics and dog-cat boarding, training and breeding units is increasing. In addition to all these, the transition of feed factories to scientific and technological production has increased the need for both laboratory and technical field staff in the feed industry and it has become difficult to provide these staff.
