Determining Some Structural Characteristics and Mechanization Potential of Dairy Cattle Farms in Karacabey District of Bursa Province
Abstract
In this study, is aimed to determine some structural characteristics and mechanization potential of dairy cattle farms in Karacabey District of Bursa province and data were obtained with 59 questionnaires, which were made by one-onone interviews with cattle farms, selected by random sampling method. The enterprises owners, visited in Karacabey District, educational levels as follows; 74.5% primary school, 15.6% secondary schools, 3.3% high school, 3.3% universities and 3.3% postgraduate level.
