The Assessment of Problems and Solution Suggestions towards Water Buffalo Breeding in Bingöl Province from the Perspective of Breeders

Abstract

This study aims to reveal structural and technical features of water buffalo breeding in Bingöl province; to detect problems, expectations and solution suggestions on water buffalo breeding from the perspective of
breeders and to determine breeders’ views about the future of this kind of breeding. The research material consists
of the data obtained from face-to-face surveys that were conducted with a total of 51 employers in 5 villages affliated to the central district of Bingöl province where most water buffalo breeders reside. According to the data
obtained in this study, 97.9% of participants reported that they are happy with water buffalo breeding and they suggest this activity to their children (80%). Breeders ranged the problems related to water buffalo breeding as follows;
“Feeding stuff costs are high”, “I don’t have any money” and “There is no grant and loan support”; they ranged
their most important expectations from authorities to resolve their problems as follows; “They should provide
breeding animal”, “Marketing means of products should be improved” and “They should give loan”. The question
“Do you think water buffalo breeding can be made proftable?” was answered as “Yes” by 95.9% of participants
while solution suggestions were emphasized as increasing market prices by 54.9%; increasing loans for feeding
stuff and breeding animals by 23.9%; increasing pasture areas by 15.9% and improving flock genetics by 5.3%.
To conclude, it was found that almost all of the participants are pleased with water buffalo breeding, they suggest
this breeding to their children, they are volunteer for organic production and they are aware of the importance and
quality of water buffalo products. It is assumed that the creation of market opportunities and encouraging the use
of organic aquaculture facilities should be organized to make breeders acquire knowledge and skills about water
buffalo breeding in specifc to Bingöl province.
