Mehmet Naci Oktay serves as a Lecturer in the Department of Animal Science and Nutrition at the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine. His academic work focuses on applied research in animal nutrition and breeding, with particular emphasis on poultry production systems and indigenous Turkish sheep breeds.
Dr. Oktay's research centers on poultry nutrition, specifically investigating feed additives including high fructose corn syrup, citric acid, and grape pomace supplemented with enzymes. His studies examine impacts on broiler performance, gut health, immune function, and antioxidant status. He also conducts significant research on fleece quality traits in native sheep breeds such as Kangal Akkaraman and Bafran, analyzing fiber characteristics, staple properties, and breed-specific wool production metrics. His work integrates nutritional science with practical animal husbandry to address challenges in Turkish livestock farming.
Analysis of his publication record (2020-2025) reveals consistent focus on optimizing broiler production through dietary interventions and litter management, alongside genetic evaluation of wool-producing sheep breeds. Key research themes include alternative feed ingredient utilization, gut health optimization in poultry, and characterization of indigenous livestock genetic resources for sustainable production systems.
