In contrast to gluten and vitamins, proteins can be retrieved only from animal based products. Accordingly, bovine breeding and poultry are important to secure protein requirements of societies. With changing climatic conditions and declining interest to maintain livestock breeding, the supply has been in declination recently which corresponded to rising consumer prices in Turkey. Within this study, it was aimed to measure the impact of prices of animals per head and changing milked or slaughtered animal stocks on the supply of main outputs of animal breeding, milk and meat. The findings of supply response analyses of meat and milk supplies for the years between 2001 and 2017 indicated that price mostly affects supply in the long term as the breeder can change the aim of keeping animals. Yet, short term impact is also visible, despite being lower. However, the analyses showed us that most of the fluctuation in supplies is related with non-price factors. Analysis interrelated with sector supports and international trade is essential for proper inferences specifically for milk supplies. This is related with the input characteristics of milk for the food industry.  </span> </p> <p> </p>}, number={2}, publisher={Volkan OKATAN}
