MAKÜVET Animal Hospital: 24/7 Support and Training Opportunity for Regional Livestock

Located among the few animal hospitals in Turkey, Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Animal Hospital continues to stand by the breeders with the aim of supporting regional animal husbandry. 

MAKÜVET Animal Hospital has started to provide both on-site service and transportation support for breeders who cannot access health services for various reasons.

Chief Physician of Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University Animal Hospital, Prof. Dr. Ali Reha Ağaoğlu, gave information about the scope of the hospital and the services it provides. Ağaoğlu stated, "MAKÜVET Animal Hospital, which has an indoor area of 11,000 m2, is a large animal health complex with 30 veterinarians with doctorates, 10 specialist veterinarians and 3 veterinary health technicians, and since 1992, the veterinary faculty clinics that started to serve have gained significant technical infrastructure and experience by gaining the identity of an animal hospital in 2018." He emphasized that they are in an ambitious position with the medical imaging and clinical diagnostic laboratory infrastructure of MAKÜVET Animal Hospital, which provides 24/7 service, and they are trying to deliver this institutional knowledge, experience and technical infrastructure to breeders in Burdur province who cannot access veterinary health services for various reasons. Ağaoğlu said, "Our aim is to provide on-site service to our breeders when necessary and to organize trainings to correct the truths that are known wrong," and underlined that they have plans to provide vehicle support for breeders who cannot reach the hospital due to financial or technical inadequacies.
