Human nutrition should be composed of a balanced daily intake of glutens,
vitamins and proteins. 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.
