This chapter is about tracing how Turkey’s turn from free-range husbandry to industrial livestock production in the conflict-ridden, Kurdish-majority southeast has been co-produced by neoliberal economic policies and the security logic of the Turkish state. It shows how scorched-earth clearances, investment incentives, breed substitution, and tight bio-surveillance intertwined counter-insurgency with agrarian restructuring. By comparing conflict provinces with western regions, the chapter demonstrates that wartime displacement depleted local herds, while national growth figures hide an unequal rebound: native breeds were replaced by imported high-yield lines owned largely by urban investors, excluding dispossessed villagers from the new regime. The result is a biopolitical apparatus in which controlling animal bodies disciplines human communities and normalizes the uneven ecological and economic costs of war-accelerated agrarian change.
