The Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology also carries out comprehensive support activities for livestock enterprises in Bursa and surrounding regions, aiming to provide scientific, technical, and practical support to local breeders, ensure a steady patient population for continued research, and supply educational materials. The department actively contributes to the Faculty’s invited "Mobil-Vet" veterinary health services to achieve these goals. Additionally, the Department collaborates with the Bursa and Yalova municipalities, the Bursa Breeding Dairy Cattle Association, and the Marmara Livestock Research Institute.
