Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'nin Batı Akdeniz Bölgesi'ndeki süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinin fertilite özelliklerini araştırmak ve üretim ölçekleri ile diğer çevresel faktörlerin fertilite özelliklerine etkisini belirlemektir. Çalışmada süt sığırcılığı işletmeleri hayvan sayısına göre Grup I (1-10 baş), Grup II (11-50 baş), Grup III (51-100 baş) ve Grup IV (≥101 baş) olmak üzere 4 gruba ayrılmıştır. Sonuçlar, işletmelerin üretim ölçekleri ile buzağılama aralıkları ve servis periyodları arasındaki ilişkinin oldukça anlamlı olduğunu göstermiştir (P<0,001). Grup I en yüksek buzağılama aralığına (468,95 ± 7,93 gün) ve en yüksek servis periyoduna (185,95 ± 7,93 gün) sahipken Grup II’nin en düşük buzağılama aralığı (414,06 ± 5,71 gün) ve servis periyodu (131.06 ± 5.71 gün) değerlerini taşıdığı saptanmıştır. Bu çalışma, işletmelerin üretim ölçeğinin fertilite özelliklerini etkileyen ana çevresel faktörlerden biri olduğunu göstermiştir. Bu nedenle, bölgede süt verimini artırmaya yönelik ıslah yerine, ekonomik verime odaklı süt ve döl verimini içine alan kapsamlı bir ıslah faaliyetinin daha doğru olacağına inanılmaktadır.
