Factors affecting milk production cost in dairy cattle farms

Bu çalışmanın amacı, süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinde süt üretim maliyetini etkileyen faktörlerin belirlenmesidir. Çalışmanın ana materyalini, 2015 Ocak ve 2015 Aralık dönemleri arasında Çanakkale'nin Biga ilçesindeki süt sırğırcılığı işletmelerinden tesadüfi tabakalı örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 175 işletmeden elde edilen veriler oluşturmaktadır. Verilerin analizinde, çoklu regresyon metodu kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, işletmelerin %41.7’sinin en düşük süt sığırı sayısına (5-10 baş) sahip olduğunu, işletmelerdeki en göze çarpan yaş aralığının 36-46 yaş (% 45.1) olduğunu ve çiftçilerin % 12.5’nin en yüksek gelire sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Çoklu regresyon model sonuçlarına göre, süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinde harcanan zamanın, işletmecilerin süt sığırcılık deneyimlerinin, çiftçilerin eğitim düzeyinin, çiftçilerin yem temininin, hayvan hastalıklarının ve işletmelerde slajlık mısır üretimi gibi faktörlerin süt üretim maliyetleri üzerindeki etkilerinin önemli olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, bu faktörlerin süt üretim maliyetlerinin azaltılmasında önemli etkilerinin olduğu açıklanmıştır.

Süt sığırcılığı işletmelerinde süt üretim maliyetini etkileyen faktörler

The aim of this study was to determine factors affecting milk production cost in dairy cattle farms. The main material of study was formed data obtained from surveys applied to 175 dairy cattle farms selected by stratified random sampling method from dairy cattle farms in Biga district of Çanakkale province between January 2015 and December 2015. Data of study were analyzed by using multiple regression method. The results of study indicated that 41.7 % of farms have the lowest number of cattle (5-10 head), the prominent age group of farmers’ ranged from 36-46 years (45.1 %) in farms and 12.5 % of farmers’ have the highest income (≥ 24000 TL). According to the results of multiple regression model, it was determined that some factors such as the time that is spent in dairy cattle farm, farmers' dairy farming experience, farmers' educational level, farmers' feed procurement, livestock diseases and maize silage production in farms had significant effects on milk production costs. In conclusion, these factors were explained to have important effects on decreasing of farmers' milk production costs.
