معرفی
Nurcan Karslıoğlu Kara is an Associate Professor at Bursa Uludağ University's Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Animal Science. She joined the university as a Research Assistant PhD in 2015, advanced to Assistant Professor in 2022, and attained her current rank in 2024. Her academic background includes a Doctorate (2009–2015) and Postgraduate degree (2004–2007) in Animal Science from Bursa Uludağ University, and an Undergraduate degree (1996–2000) in Animal Science from Akdeniz University.
Her research focuses on optimizing livestock systems through interdisciplinary approaches in animal welfare, dairy science, and sustainable management. Key interests include:
- Dairy cattle health, reproduction, and longevity metrics
- Impact of farm infrastructure (stall design, bedding) on productivity
- Neonatal calf health and non-infectious risk factors
- Economic and ethical dimensions of animal husbandry
Kara's publications reveal a consistent emphasis on empirical solutions for dairy and meat production challenges, with recurring themes in herd management, stress physiology, and breed-specific optimization. Her work spans controlled studies (e.g., nutrient compositions of feed) and field observations (e.g., manure management systems).
She led a funded project (2016–2018) investigating herd life and milk yield in Holstein and Simmental cows. No awards or student advisements are documented. Prior non-academic roles include agricultural consultancy at Bursa Cattle Breeders Association (2006–2009).
