 Developed by faculty members of the Faculty of Agriculture at Kırşehir Ahi Evran University, the project garnered attention as a domestically produced silage additive based on the stabilization of plant-derived organic components using nanoemulsion technology. Prepared with the aim of improving silage quality, ensuring fermentation stability, and developing domestic alternatives to imported products in the livestock sector, the project was recognized as one of the organization’s most successful initiatives following jury evaluations.

The first-place award was presented to the project team by TOGÜ Vice Rector Prof. Dr. Rasim Koçyiğit. With this achievement, the Faculty of Agriculture at Kırşehir Ahi Evran University has added yet another success to its track record in scientific research and agricultural innovation.

The event was attended by Rector Prof. Dr. Mustafa Kasım Karahocagil, along with the rectors of many universities that are members of the Union of Anatolian Universities. As part of the event, Rector Karahocagil visited the project competition area and the booths alongside the rectors of other universities to learn about the projects.
This significant achievement in the 20th year of our university once again demonstrated Kırşehir Ahi Evran University’s pioneering vision in the fields of scientific research, entrepreneurship, and domestic agricultural technologies.
