The Scientific and Technological Research Institution of Turkey (Turkish: Türkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırma Kurumu, TÜBİTAK) is a national agency of Turkey whose stated goal is to develop “science, technology and innovation” (STI) policies, support and conduct research and development, and to “play a leading role in the creation of a science and technology culture” in the country. TÜBİTAK develops scientific and technological policies and manages R&D institutes, carrying on research, technology and development studies in line with “national priorities”. TÜBİTAK also acts as an advisory agency to the Turkish government and acts as the secretariat of the Supreme Council for Science and Technology, the highest science and technology policymaking body in Turkey.

| Commercial Lamb Production Utilizing Advanced Reproductive Technologies | Sheep/lamb meat consumption continues to rise worldwide; therefore, efficient strategies to increase flock size are integral to the success of sheep industry. Reproductive management is crucial to increasing the efficiency of sheep breeding programs. The use of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) has the potential to increase efficiency significantly. The implementation of multiple ovulation and embryo transfer (MOET) in combination with genomic selection and Artificial Insemination (AI) is the most efficient way to increase genetic gain, and thus increase reproductive efficiency within the Sheep industry. | 2012 |  |
| Improving Functional Value of Lamb Meat | In addition to nutritional value, a very important criterion for the selection of meat, for the modern consumer is the health aspect, i.e. the content of fat and the profile of fatty acids in meat. The content of fat and fatty acids, among other things, is conditioned by the feeding system and the rearing method. Nutrition management of lambs had a significant place and provided the opportunity to model the composition of meat and fatty acids, which contributes to the improvement of fat content, the optimal ratio of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, as well as a more favourable ratio of n-6/n-3 and CLA. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential for the human body (reduce the risk of cancer, inflammation, arthritis, they are important for cognitive brain function). Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is of great importance, since it has an anticancer, antidiabetic effect as well as an effect on the immune system, indicating a direction for future research on lamb meat. | 2015 | |
| Production of functional (CLA-enriched) goat milk by innovative feeding and breeding methods | Dairy products goats are important sources of nutrients, supplying high quality protein, energy, and a variety of minerals and vitamins. Consumption of CLA-enriched milk could provide considerable benefits for human health, strategies to produce milk with higher CLA content provide new marketing opportunities. The results of this ort he are undeniably comprehensive. Goat’s cheese and other products can be manufactured from CLA enriched milk. ort he cheese industry therefore, they have shown that cheese can be marketed as a functional food with no significant loss of taste and other important sensory properties. The medical, pharmaceutical and food industries also stand to benefit from this research. | 2015 | |
