Abstract

This study was carried out in order to reveal the current situation of goose breeding in extensive and semi-intensive conditions in Kütahya province and to determine the important problems encountered in breeding. The material of the study consisted of the survey data obtained from 125 goose producers in the villages of Merkez, Altıntaş, Aslanapa, Çavdarhisar and Tavşanlı districts of Kütahya province where goose breeding is intense. According to the research findings, it was determined that the average period of goose breeding of farmers in the province of Kütahya was 1-10 years. It was determined that the number of breeding male geese per farm was 1-5 and the number of breeding female geese was 3-20 (M/F:1/3-5/20). It was determined that 56.8% of the goose shelters were made of briquette or brick material. 88.8% of the breeders stated that gooselings were released to the pasture when they were 1-2 weeks old. Although the rate of not taking any precautions against diseases was 84.0%, the rate of those who stated that they did not experience any loss was 75.2%. As a result, it was determined that the structure and problems of goose breeding in Kütahya were similar to the country in general and the production was mostly done to meet the meat needs of the family. It can be stated that the main problems of the producers are feed costs, inadequacies in care and feeding, breedings with low-yielding domestic breeds, difficulties in the supply of breeding animals, and problems in marketing.
