Investigation of the Effects of Different Surgical Techniques on Behavior in Self-Sucking Cows in Modern and Individual Family Farms

Abstract

Self-sucking or sucking other animals in the herd, which has an abnormal behavior disorder, and it is an important problem in dairy cattle farms. Surgical treatment is mostly recommended as a treatment for this disease, which causes economic problems. In this study, which was carried out on self-sucking cows, it was aimed to investigate the effects on different surgical treatment techniques in modern and individual family farms. While the surgical treatment of self-sucking behavior disorder in family farms has been successful, the operation results of this behavior disorder in modern farms have been unsuccessful. It was concluded that surgical treatment was unsuccessful in modern farms due to herd management problems. Surgical treatments for this visually acquired behavioral disorder of cows are insufficient. It has been concluded that environmental factors cause this behavior disorder and taking them into consideration while performing the operation will increase the chance of success.

Modern ve Aile İşletmelerindeki Kendini Emen İneklere Uygulanan Farklı Operasyon Tekniklerinin Davranış Üzerine Etkileri

Öz

Kendi kendini ya da sürüdeki diğer hayvanları emme,süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinde karşılaşılan önemli bir davranış bozukluğudur. Ekonomik sorunlara neden olan bu davranış bozukluğunun tedavisi olarak çoğunlukla operatif tedavi önerilmektedir. Kendi kendini emen inekler üzerinde gerçekleştirilen bu çalışmada, modern ve bireysel aile işletmelerinde farklı cerrahi tedavi teknikleri üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlandı. Aile işletmelerindeki ineklere uygulanan operatif tedavilerin sonuçları olumlu olurken, modern işletmelerdeki ineklerin operatif tedavisinde aynı başarı sağlanamamıştır. Modern işletmelerde yapılan operatif tedavilerde istenilen sonuçlara ulaşılamaması sürü yönetimindeki sorunlara bağlandı. Operatif tedavilerin yetersiz kaldığı bu davranış bozukluğunu inekler görsel olarak edinmelerine rağmen etiyolojisinde çevresel etmenlerinde rol oynadıkları ve tedavi sürecinde bunlarında göz önünde bulundurulmasının başarı şansını arttıracağı kanaatine varıldı.
