The Animal Food Plant, which was started to be built by Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality in 2024, started production this year.<\/p>\n

The food collected from the cafeterias of hospitals and dormitories in the city is kept in the cold storage in the facility.<\/p>\n

After veterinary and technical team controls, stale breads and meals collected from bakeries are mixed and the production phase starts with the machines in the facility.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Foods high in protein are first formed into wet food, which is then dried, packaged and stored in warehouses.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the food produced for the animals in the shelter, both waste food is saved from going to waste and the animals are fed.<\/p>\n

Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality Deputy Secretary General Ahmet K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7 told AA correspondent that the facility has been actively producing daily food for about a month.<\/p>\n

Pointing out that a significant portion of the need for food is met from the facility, K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7 said, \"We opened our facility to feed a quality food to our lovely friends. We built the facility according to the number of animals in our shelter and the need here. Now we meet 70 percent of our needs with the food we produce in our own facility.\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"We can produce 1 ton of food when we work double shifts\"<\/h3>\n

Stating that they expanded the shelter after the Implementing Regulation on the Protection of Animals was published in the Official Gazette and entered into force, K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7 continued as follows:<\/p>\n

\"Currently, we do not buy raw materials from outside. We prevent waste food from hospitals and dormitories from being thrown into the garbage and recycle it here. If there are substances that can harm animals, we separate them. Our friends in the veterinary and technical teams are working on these. We can produce 500 kilograms of food daily in a single shift and 1 ton of food when we work double shifts. Considering that an animal needs 400 grams per day, we have the production to meet the food needs of 1500-2000 animals.\"<\/p>\n

K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7 explained that their aim was to provide a better quality of life for animals.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stating that the animals brought to the shelter after the law were not released to the streets and that they are therefore continuing to work on the expansion of the facility, K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7 noted that they avoid the recycling of all kinds of food due to the possibility of harming animal health.<\/p>\n

Stating that there is always plenty of food in front of the animals, K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7 emphasized that there is no such thing as animals going hungry.<\/p>\n

K\u0131l\u0131\u00e7 said, \"As Erzurum Metropolitan Municipality, we are an animal-loving municipality. All our people can see our shelter and food facility whenever they want.\"<\/p>\n
