I am a Professor of Animal Science at Akdeniz University, Faculty of Agriculture, Türkiye. My research focuses on poultry breeding and genetics, with particular emphasis on quantitative genetics, genetic parameter estimation, breeding value prediction, selection strategies, and growth modeling. My scientific work primarily involves chickens, Japanese quail, and turkeys, investigating economically important traits such as growth performance, feed efficiency, reproductive performance, carcass characteristics, and behavioral traits. I apply statistical modeling, multivariate genetic analyses, and pedigree-based approaches to improve the understanding of genetic variation and support breeding decisions. My current research interests also include sustainable poultry production, environmental effects on animal performance, precision livestock farming, and artificial intelligence applications in animal science. I welcome international research collaborations in poultry genetics, breeding programs, and innovative animal production systems.
