Abstract

One of the most important issues regarding community health is animal health, followed by the health of animal products. Providing a sustainable environment for production facilities like livestock centers is essential. In this study, we have proposed designing four fuzzy inference systems for managing the sustainability of livestock centers. The first, second, and third systems are applied for the economic, social, and environmental dimensions. The fourth is for a system whose output is the sustainability level while its inputs are the three addressed sustainability dimensions. The data source was experts' judgment, and the major limitation of this research was access to a limited number of experts in making system rules. The validation is made by crosschecking with other experts. Considering a maximum of 10 points for each sustainability dimension and supposing that the economic dimension is 5.05, the social dimension is 7.77 and the environmental dimension is 8.12, the sustainability level turns out to be 7.92.
