International Congress on Creative and Innovative Approaches. Furthermore, he delved into artificial neural networks for modelling and predicting stock closing values and trends in agriculture, demonstrating applications in animal production and suicide rate prediction in Turkey and three major cities using artificial neural networks, presented at the II. International Applied Statistics Conference and the XXI. International Symposium on Econometric Operations Research and Statistics, respectively. Additionally, he contributed to animal science research by investigating the effects of vitamin E and selenium supplementation on the fertility and hatchability of partridges, presented at the III International and XII National Animal Science Conference.

 

Research 

He has contributed extensively to national peer-reviewed journals and presented papers at various national scientific conferences. In his publications, Şenol Çelik has covered a wide range of topics including path analysis of carcass measurements in Japanese quails, analysis of body measurements in Turkish Arabian horses, and investigation of egg quality traits and feather color effects on egg weight in Japanese quails. Additionally, he has presented findings on subjects such as honey production comparisons across regions in Turkey, utilization of spline functions in modelling live weight in organic chickens, and estimation of live weight in chickens by age using Newton interpolation method. Furthermore, his research extends to fields such as dairy production economics, climate effects on crop yields, and the relationship between livestock and forage crop production, among others. He has also authored technical notes and short articles on predictive modelling in goat growth and technologies in smallholder poultry development. Moreover, he has served as an editor for several publications focused on statistical research in various fields including agriculture, engineering, and natural sciences.
