Socio-Economic Structure of Cattle Enterprises Operating in Karaçoban County of Erzurum Province

Abstract

This study aimed to gain insight into the socio-economic conditions of livestock farming enterprises in Karaçoban county, Erzurum province, Türkiye. Face-to-face surveys with 280 cattle enterprisers were carried out to obtain data of the study. It was found that the majority of these enterprisers (97.9%) were literate, and that 31.3% of the breeders were university graduates. The study revealed that 76.1% of the enterprises surveyed engaged in combined (dairy and beef) cattle farming. The majority of farming households consisted of 4 individuals (15.2%), 5 individuals (23.5%), and 6 individuals (20.6%). It was determined that 35.1% of enterprises engage in plant production, with barley (37.4%) and clover (34.0%) being the most commonly cultivated crops for feeding purposes. It was also found that 73.5% of enterprise owners solely engage in animal husbandry, with the remaining 26.5% involved in other professions alongside it. Of all the breeders, 60.6% consider cattle farming as their primary occupation, while 22.5% are retired, 9.9% work in the public sector, and 7.0% are employed in the private sector. It was revealed that 92.2% of the breeders are engaged in cattle rearing as a means of livelihood, 5.1% contribute to the family budget and 2.8% do it as a habit. It could be recommended that diverse participants involved in livestock production in the Karaçoban county of Erzurum province could benefit from educational and incentive programs targeted at the region by public institutions. Such interventions may promote the development of animal husbandry as well as improve the socio-economic situation and welfare of the enterprises.
