As a result of the processes in our world, within the scope of industrialization, increasing productivity has become the first priority of every business. Animal production, on the other hand, is very different from machine production, and it occurs by living things, which are the most important factors it contains. When the subject is a living creature, the factors involved increase considerably.
Farm animals, which provide a large part of this production, are faced with a lot of environmental stress factors during the day. Examples of this are heat stress, crowding, infectious diseases, poor ventilation, poor flooring, uncomfortable bedding, poor management or animal handling. The fact that animals are faced with such stress factors for a long time is a difficult process for both them and the farmer to cope with and manage. In addition to all these environmental factors, diseases that occur in animals greatly reduce animal productivity.
