    Evaluation of multi-dimensional effects on the ecology of goat farming in Turkey: The case of Adana province
    (National Centre for Agrarian Sciences, 2016) Yilmaz, H.; Gül, M.; Parlakay, O.; Budak, D.B.
    Goats are inseparable part of Mediterranean ecosystem determined by flora, land conditions and climatic conditions. The effects of goat grazing on ecology have not been studied for a long time. But the existing of positive or negative effects of goat grazing on ecology has been debated. The determination of effects of goat farming on ecology from aspects of different institutions is the aim of this study. Also the strengths and weaknesses of goat farming, the threats and opportunities were revealed via SWOT Analysis method. For obtaining data, survey method was used. Among the people interviewed 71.11% expressed opinion that goats are not a threat for ecology, and 28.89% had view that goats are a threat. When looking from institutions’ aspect, 92.31% of people from Environment Engineering, 73.53% of people from Environment and Forests Directorate of the City, 65.52% of people from Agricultural Faculty and 57.14% of people from Municipality expressed that goats are not a threat for ecology. Considering this result, almost half of municipality employees expressed that goat farming is a threat for ecology. Almost all of the people we interviewed from Department of Environment Engineering expressed that the goat is not a threat for ecology. The most important result which we can deduce about goat farming from the study is that the goat farmers must be trained how to choose consciously where to let the goats graze in order to minimize the negative effects on ecology. © 2016, National Centre for Agrarian Sciences.

    General information on dairy cattle enterprise and animal welfare in east mediterranean region
    (National Centre for Agrarian Sciences, 2016) Gül, M.; Yilmaz, H.; Akkoyun, S.; Parlakay, O.; Bılgılı, M.E.; Vurarak, Y.; Hizli, H.
    The animal husbandry sector plays a significant role in agricultural development of nations not only in terms of its products but also because it creates added value and employment opportunities as much as other sub-sectors of agriculture. The animal husbandry sector maintains its production activities while it also steers and promotes the production of inputs like forage plant growing required for its own production. The study comprises general information and findings on dairy cattle raring in agricultural enterprises in East Mediterranean Region cities (Adana, Osmaniye, Mersin, Hatay and Kahramanmaraş) set as the research area of the study, as well as animal welfare. The main resource of information for the study involves the primary data collected from 148 dairy cattle enterprises selected via random sampling in the region. The data was obtained through surveys. The general information regarding the dairy cattle in the enterprises involves the reasons why these enterprises deal with dairy cattle raring and whether and how they produce silage. As for animal welfare, the vaccinations conducted by enterprises, the regular health checks as well as how often these enterprises resort to artificial insemination were studied. Food security and protection of animal welfare have been prominent issues recently. Veterinary officers pay visits to such enterprises as long as they are invited by the owner of the enterprise. It was found that the ratio of regular health checks increases as the enterprises expand. All in all, it must be a requisite for the enterprises to attend training programs for purposes of extending the impact and popularity of preventive medicine and improving environmental conditions. © 2016, National Centre for Agrarian Sciences.

    Technical efficiency of dairy cattle farms in the Eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey by stochastic frontier analysis
    (Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum, 2017) Parlakay, O.; Yilmaz, H.; Gül, M.; Akkoyun, S.; Bilgili, M.E.; Vurarak, Y.; Hizli, H.
    The aim of this study was to determine the technical efficiency of dairy cattle farms in Turkey. The main material of the study consists of primary data that were gathered in 2012 from 148 dairy cattle farms in the Eastern Mediterranean Region by the face to face interview method. Data were analyzed using the Stochastic Frontier Analysis method. The effects of socio-economic variables on technical efficiency were calculated using the SFA TE Effects Model. According to research results, the average technical efficiency score was found as 79%. Positive correlation between milk production and the amount of roughage usage, and negative correlation between milk production and labor force usage were found. The socio-economic variables of education, dairy cattle experience and labor force indexes were found positive. However, only dairy cattle experience was found to be significant among these variables. According to the research results, sourcing was found to be sufficient in dairy cattle farms; whereas, efficiency was found insufficient. It is possible to get higher productivity with the same amount of input usage by managing the production process as well. © 2017, Pakistan Agricultural Scientists Forum. All rights reserved.
