With the efforts of MFI, livestock breeding became a commercial sector and Turkish meat industry developed. MFI has developed and implemented contract breeding projects in order to improve and popularize breeding. The Institution thus enabled farmers to adopt livestock breeding as a full time commercial activity. Along with the promotion of contract breeding, Meat and Fish Institution has introduced yield and premium practices in the livestock procurement, which promote the high quality breeding and enable increases in carcass averages. MFA has stood by the farmers in times of disasters such as drought and earthquake by purchasing their livestock on site and providing support and assistance.
