Environmental Factors Affecting Economically Important Traits of Anatolian Buffalo in Yozgat

Öz

The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of some environmental factors on the growth, reproduction and production traits of Anatolian Buffaloes. The reproduction and production data of 1139 Anatolian buffaloes and the growth records of the calves between 2015 and 2019 in Yozgat province were used. The least-square means of the birth (BW), weaning (WW), sixth month (SMW) and yearling weights (YW) and daily gain between those traits were determined as 30.43, 97.79, 112.98, 169.40, 0.441, 0.459, 0.382 and 0.306 kgs respectively. Calving interval (CI) and service period (SP) were 470.08 and 150.08 days. Lactation milk yield (LMY), milk yield per day of lactation period (MY/LP), milk yield per day of CI (MY/CI), peak yield (PY), day at piek yield (DPY), and persistence (P) were found to be 860.40, 4.447, 1.916, 5.589 kgs, 83.34 days, and 77.35%. The effects of village and sex on BW, WW, SMW and YW were statistically significant (P<0.05) but the season affected all of these traits except for BW. Analysis of variance revealed all the environmental factors were significant on CI and SP. MY/LP and MY/CI weren’t affected only by the season of calving and calving year respectively. The rest of the production traits were affected by all environmental factors. It was concluded that significant environmental factors such as the village, year, season, and age of the dam must be considered in farm management activities to improve the performances of Anatolian buffaloes.
