In this study, it was aimed to determine of the shelter conditions and welfare levels of Anatolian Black cattle grown in two different regions of Turkey. Accordingly, welfare assessment was made at the farm level according to the Animal Needs Index (ANI 35L/2000) method, a total of 76 in Ankara and Antalya provinces. The material of the research was composed of Anatolian Black cattle farms within the scope of the Project on Conservation of Domestic Genetic Resources. According to the ANI welfare assessment method, scoring was composed of a total of 30 criteria in 5 different categories, namely, locomotion, social interaction, flooring, light air and stockmanship. In the study, the average of all farms was determined as 22.73 points in winter and 41.36 points in summer. These values were found to be 22.00 and 23.98 in winter and 40.87 and 42.20 in summer, respectively, in Ankara and Antalya provinces. As a result of the study, it was found that the opportunity for animals to go to the courtyard and pasture has positive contributions to animal welfare. Moreover, it determined that factors such as stall size, available floor area, flooring and lighting adversely affected animal welfare in winter. The ANI 35L method can be recommended to determine the welfare levels of farms that have production by traditional methods and not possible to examine many animal-based parameters.
本研究旨在确定在土耳其两个不同地区生长的安纳托利亚黑牛的饲养条件和福利水平。因此，根据动物需求指数（ANI 35L/2000）方法，在农场层面进行了福利评估，安卡拉和安塔利亚省共评估了 76 个农场。研究材料由国内遗传资源保护项目范围内的安纳托利亚黑牛农场组成。根据 ANI 福利评估方法，评分由 5 个不同类别共 30 个标准组成，即运动、社会互动、地板、光线和饲养管理。在研究中，冬季所有农场的平均得分为 22.73 分，夏季得分为 41.36 分。在安卡拉和安塔利亚省，冬季的这些值分别为 22.00 和 23.98，夏季分别为 40.87 和 42.20。研究结果表明，动物去庭院和牧场的机会对动物福利有积极贡献。此外，它还确定了在冬季，马厩大小、可用地板面积、地板和照明等因素对动物福利产生不利影响。ANI 35L 方法可用于确定采用传统方法生产且不可能检查许多基于动物的参数的农场的福利水平。
