Beef Cattle Feeding Principles of Kars Province Enterprises During the Winter Period

Abstract

This research was conducted as a survey to determine the feeding principles of beef cattle enterprises in Kars province during the winter period. For this purpose, face-to-face survey interviews were conducted with a total of 45 beef cattle enterprises, 10 of them were located in Kars city center, whereas 5 enterprises were from each of Susuz, Arpaçay, Akyaka, Selim, Sarıkamış, Kağızman and Digor town located in Kars. It was determined that the abundantly used forages were straw, dried grass hay, sainfoin, and beef cattle concentrate and crushed barley as concentrate feed. This study showed that roughage and concentrate feeds are given to animals after mixing. It was observed that most of the enterprises offers the feed and water 2 or 3 times a day to their animals and most of them were using salt blocks, but not vitamin-mineral licking blocks. Majority of the enterprises do not receive professional support from the veterinarians or zootechnician for feeding their animals. Frequency of digestive system disorders such as indigestion, diarrhea, and tympani was at rarely. It was determined that the most important problem for enterprises was high concentrate feed prices. It has been concluded that the beef cattle enterprises in Kars province maintain traditional feeding principles for feeding their animals, do not face serious health problems in their animals, there may have vitamin-mineral deficiencies in animals, which could be met by feeding adequate and balanced ration recommended by animal nutritionist.
