Türkiye, Sivas İli Manda Yetiştiricilerinin Memnuniyet Düzeyleri Üzerine Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Farklı bölge ve iklim koşullarına adapte olabilen, kaliteli süt ve et ürünlerine sahip ve organik hayvancılığa uygun olan mandalar, önemli avantajlara sahip bir hayvan yetiştiriciliği koludur. Bu çalışmada, Sivas ili Merkez, Şarkışla ve Suşehri ilçelerinde toplam 122 manda yetiştiricisine ait yaş, cinsiyet, eğitim ve memnuniyet durumları, manda yetiştirme nedenleri, yetiştiricilik sorunları ve beklentilerine yönelik olarak yapılan anket verileri incelendi. Katılımcıların, ağırlıklı olarak; orta yaş (%89.3) grubunda ve eğitim durumunun %67.2’sinde ilkokul, %12.3’ünde lise düzeyinde olduğu tespit edildi. Katılımcıların, daha çok evlerinin günlük ihtiyaçlarını karşılamak (%29) amacıyla manda yetiştiriciliği yaptıkları, yetiştiricilikten memnuniyet duydukları (%91.8) ve çocuklarına tavsiye etme (%62.7) yönünde olumlu düşüncelere sahip oldukları tespit edildi. Manda yetiştiriciliğinden memnun olma nedeni olarak katılımcıların %64’ü süt ve süt ürünlerinin kalitesi ile bu ürün fiyatlarının yüksek olduğu görüşünü belirttiler. Yetiştiricilik sorunları; yüksek yem fiyatı (%35), düşük et fiyatı (%25) ve pazar bulunamaması (%10) olarak belirtilirken, yetiştiriciler yetkili merciler tarafından üretilecek çözümler ile manda yetiştiriciliğinin daha karlı bir hale gelebileceği noktasında bir ön görüye (%95.6) sahip olduklarını bildirdiler. Manda yetiştiriciliğin karlı hale getirilebilmesi için yetiştiriciler, pazar fiyatlarının artırılması (%34.4), yem alımı ve damızlıkta kredi artırılması (%33.7) yönündeki taleplerini beyan ettiler. Katılımcıların, cinsiyetleri ile işlerinin karlı hale getirilebileceği görüşleri (p<0.001) ve yaptıkları işten memnuniyetleri ile çocuklarına tavsiye etme (p<0.05) ve memnuniyetleri ile işlerinin karlı hale getirilebileceği görüşleri (p<0.001) arasında bir ilişki olduğu saptandı. Sivas ili özelinde manda yetiştiricilerinin sorunları, yetkililerden beklentileri ve çözüm önerileri bir bütün olarak değerlendirildiğinde; üretim kalitesini artırılması, damızlık hayvan seçiminde bilinçli yetiştiricilik uygulamalarının tercih edilmesi, üretimi garanti altına alan fiyatlandırma ve yeni pazarlama imkanlarının geliştirilmesi gibi yaklaşımların faydalı olacağı söylenebilir.

A Research on Satisfaction Levels of Water Buffalo Breeders in Sivas Province, Türkiye

Abstract

Buffaloes can adapt to different regional and climatic conditions, yield high quality milk and meat products and are suitable for organic animal husbandry, which provides significant advantages in livestock raising. In this study, a total of 122 buffalo breeders living in the center of Sivas province, Şarkışla and Suşehri districts were examined in terms of age, gender, educational level and satisfaction with breeding buffaloes, reasons for breeding, problems encountered in breeding and expectations using a survey. The participants were mostly middle-aged individuals (89.3%). It was found that 67.2% of them graduated from primary school while 12.3% graduated from high school. It was revealed that the participants were breeding buffaloes in order to meet the daily needs of their homes (29%), were pleased with breeding them (91.8%) and had such positive views that they advised their children to breed buffaloes (62.7%). 64 % of the participants stated that they were satisfied with buffalo breeding for quality of dairy products and the high prices of these products. The buffalo breeders reported their breeding problems as high costs of fodder (35%), low meat price (25%) and the lack of market (10%) while they predicted that the buffalo breeding may become more profitable (95.6%) with the help of solutions to be made by the authorities. In order to achieve this aim, the breeders declared their demands to increase prices of their products sold in the market (34.4%), and loan limits for purchasing fodder and husbandry (33.7%). A significant relationship was found between the participants’ gender and the views that their work could be made profitable (p<0.001). It was also revealed that there was a significant relationship between the satisfaction level of the participants and recommending breeding buffaloes to their children (p<0.05) and the views that their work could be made profitable (p<0.001). When the problems of buffalo breeders in Sivas province, expectations from the authorities and solutions to be offered are considered as a whole, it can be interpreted that increasing the quality of production, preference of conscious breeding practices in animal selection, pricing that will guarantee production and developing new marketing opportunities will be beneficial to overcoming problems.
