Environmental Factors Affecting Economically Important Traits of Anatolian Buffalo in Yozgat

Abstract

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of some environmental factors on the growth, reproduction and production traits of Anatolian Buffaloes. The reproduction and production data of 1139 Anatolian buffaloes and the growth records of the calves between 2015 and 2019 in Yozgat province were used. The least-square means of the birth (BW), weaning (WW), sixth month (SMW) and yearling weights (YW) and daily gain between those traits were determined as 30.43, 97.79, 112.98, 169.40, 0.441, 0.459, 0.382 and 0.306 kgs respectively. Calving interval (CI) and service period (SP) were 470.08 and 150.08 days. Lactation milk yield (LMY), milk yield per day of lactation period (MY/LP), milk yield per day of CI (MY/CI), peak yield (PY), day at piek yield (DPY), and persistence (P) were found to be 860.40, 4.447, 1.916, 5.589 kgs, 83.34 days, and 77.35%. The effects of village and sex on BW, WW, SMW and YW were statistically significant (P<0.05) but the season affected all of these traits except for BW. Analysis of variance revealed all the environmental factors were significant on CI and SP. MY/LP and MY/CI weren’t affected only by the season of calving and calving year respectively. The rest of the production traits were affected by all environmental factors. It was concluded that significant environmental factors such as the village, year, season, and age of the dam must be considered in farm management activities to improve the performances of Anatolian buffaloes.

Yozgat İlinde Yetiştirilen Anadolu Mandalarında Ekonomik Özellikleri Etkileyen Çevresel Faktörler

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Anadolu Mandalarının büyüme, üreme ve üretim özellikleri üzerine çevresel faktörlerin araştırılması amacıyla yapılmıştır. Bu amaçla Yozgat'ta 2015-2019 yılları arasında 1139 baş Anadolu mandasının üreme ve üretim verileri ile bunlardan doğan malakların büyüme verileri kullanılmıştır. Bu özellikler arasında doğum, sütten kesim, altıncı ay ve bir yaş ağırlığı ile bu özellikler arasındaki ortalama günlük canlı ağırlık kazancına ait en küçük kare ortalamaları sırasıyla 30,43; 97,79; 112,98; 169,40; 0,441; 0,459; 0,382 ve 0,306 kg’dır. Malaklama aralığı için en küçük kareler ortalaması 470,08 ve servis periyodu 150,08 gündür. Laktasyon süt verimi, laktasyonda ortalama günlük süt verimi, malaklama aralığında ortalama günlük süt verimi, pik verimi, pike ulaşım süresi ve süt veriminde inişe karşı direnme gücü en küçük kare ortalamaları 860,40; 4,447; 1,916 kg, 83,34 gün, 5,589±0,116 kg ve %77,35 olarak bulunmuştur. Doğum, sütten kesim, altıncı ay ve bir yaş ağırlığı üzerinde köy ve cinsiyetin etkisi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuş ancak doğum ağırlığı hariç tüm bu özellikler mevsimden etkilenmiştir. Varyans analizi ayrıca tüm çevresel faktörlerin malaklama aralığı ve servis periyoduna anlamlı etkisi olduğunu ortaya çıkardı. Laktasyonda ortalama günlük süt verimini sadece buzağılama mevsimini etkilemezken, malaklama aralığında ortalama günlük süt verimini malaklama yılından etkilenmemiştir. Diğer süt verim özellikleri ise tüm çevresel faktörlerden etkilemiştir. Anadolu mandalarında verimlerin arttırılması için bakım ve idarede köy, yıl, mevsim ve ana yaşı gibi önemli çevresel faktörlerin dikkate alınması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
