Keeping conditions of cattle related with health and productivity during the winter season in the north-eastern Anatolia

Abstract

The keeping condition can easily affect expected production and health of farm animals. Therefore, the study was aimed to determine the keeping condition of cattle in northeast Turkey (Kars, Ardahan and Iğdır). This survey-study was performed on randomly selected local farmers and villages in the region (1162 person, 83 villages). The most of the breeders (95.09%) have low educational level (secondary school or below). The most of the animal houses (91.14%) consist of the stone-wall, wood-soil ceiling and stone or concrete floor. The average size of animal houses were 100.45±2.78 m2 and 305.11 m3. Ventilations of the barns were rather insufficient, even, 21.69% of breeders reported that the ventilation of the barns was completely closed during the winter. Only 3.12% of the breeders in this region were reported using proper bedding. Again 57.23 % of the breeders reported that they never use any disinfectant agents to cleaning the barns, rest of them said that they only use lime for this aim. It was found out that, generally horse (62.65%), poultry (63.86%) and sheep (4.22%) were kept together with cattle in the same shed. As a conclusion, the cattle keeping conditions in the region were determined poor in quality
