- Abstract
Purpose: Aim of this study was to determine technical and structural characteristics of sheep and goat farms, along with problems faced by breeders in Yozgat province, in order to propose solutions to those problems. Materials and Methods: Main material of the study was the survey data obtained from 200 sheep and goat farms from different districts of Yozgat province. In this study, general and structural characteristics, housing status, nutrition practices and feed supply, current breeds, herd management systems, and health protection status of farms were determined. Results: It is determined that 11.5% of farms have 50-100 heads of sheep and goats, while 44% of farms have 101-250 heads, 28% have 251-500 heads, and proportion of farms that have more than 500 heads is 16.5%. 68 percent of all farms supply breeding rams and buck from their own flocks. It was also determined that 82.5% of the breeders kept their animals in the pasture for 8-10 months and there were no milking practices in 70% of farms, instead milk was used only for feeding of lambs and goats. Conclusion: Since there are problems concerning lack of marketing and pasture, in addition to lack of knowledge about breeding and health protection among breeders, the current potential of the region can not be adequately reflected to production.
