Assoc. Prof. Dr. Gökhan FİLİK is a prominent academic specializing in animal nutrition and biotechnology at Kirsehir Ahi Evran University's Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agricultural Biotechnology. With extensive experience in both research and administration, he currently serves as the Head of the Animal Biotechnology Department and as a representative in the Faculty Management Board.

• PhD in Animal Science from Çukurova University (2009-2013)
• PhD in Agricultural Economics from Çukurova University (2014-2022)
• Master's in Animal Science (2005-2009)
• Bachelor's in Animal Production (2001-2005)
• Bachelor's in Business Administration (2002-2007)

His research focuses on innovative feed technologies, particularly utilizing agricultural byproducts for animal nutrition. He has pioneered work on silage additives, hot pepper waste utilization in poultry diets, and functional feed development. His interdisciplinary approach bridges animal science with biotechnology and sustainable agriculture practices. Notable contributions include developing nanoemulsion silage additives and exploring industrial symbiosis for agricultural waste management.

His publication portfolio shows strong trends in poultry nutrition (35%), silage technology (25%), and biotechnological feed applications (20%). Recent work increasingly focuses on sustainable agriculture solutions and waste valorization. Key thematic areas include gut health optimization, alternative feedstuffs, and precision nutrition technologies.

• Yayın Teşvik Ödülü from TÜBİTAK (2020)
• Alltech Young Scientist Competition (1st in Turkey, 2nd in EU) (2010)

Dr. FİLİK has successfully supervised 13 graduate students across diverse topics including chia plant silage, nanoemulsions, and industrial symbiosis applications. He has secured 57 research projects totaling over 2.5 million TL, with recent focus on geothermal-heated greenhouse waste utilization and nanoemulsion silage additives. His leadership extends to coordinating international exchange programs (Erasmus, Mevlana) for nearly a decade and serving as UNİKOP General Secretary for the KOP Universities Union.

He directs the FILIK NANOBİOAGROTECH R&D company established under TÜBİTAK's 1812 Entrepreneurship Support Program. His laboratory work focuses on feed biotechnology, particularly microbial fermentation processes and nanoemulsion development for agricultural applications. Current research explores symbiotic relationships in industrial ecosystems for sustainable agriculture and novel feed preservation technologies.
