For this aim, a survey was done in 165 goat farms. Average age of goat farmers was 44.45. Education levels of goat breeder’s were 75.76% primary school, 14.55% secondary school and 7.25% high school, respectively. It was found that 73.33% and 23.63 % of goat breeder’s haven’t got land and rented area, respectively. Raised goat breeds in farms were hair goat and Saanen crossbred 98.78% and 1.22%, respectively. Number of goat per farm was 154.46 head. Rate of supplement feeding for mating and after kidding period in goat farms was 24.85%. Daily milk yield and fertility in goats were 0.246 liter per animal and 0.89%, respectively. Rate of semi-open and open housing farms were 76.97% and 20%, respectively. Finally, there are a lot of technical and structural problems such as breeding, nutrition, health management, housing and grazing. For this aim, it is crucial that there should be cooperation among university, goat associations and Ministry of Food Agriculture and Animal Husbandry}, number={2}, publisher={Anatolia Bilim Akademisi}
