Özet
This study was performed to determine the production practices and the general structural characteristics of Anatolian buffalo farmers in Guroymak and Mutki regions of Bitlis province. The research group of this study consisted of 136 of breeders reared Anatolian buffalo in these regions and was questioned from 85 item of question at total. Obtained data were analyzed in Statistical Analyzes System (SAS). In the research, it was detected that buffalo breeding in Bitlis city was mainly conducted by middle age (age of 40 and 50) or older breeders (51 years and older). It was observed that the breeders could not produce their own feed due to insufficient land availability (0-20 decares per farm) and the pastures were insufficient. Buffalo milk was mainly used for the production of yoghurt and cheese and farmers did not have a plan for the marketing of buffalo products because of low price problems. Mandatory vaccines for health protection in Anatolian buffaloes were performed regularly. In addition, it has been stated that in recent years, the efforts to protect the Anatolian buffaloes have contributed significantly to the protection and development of this animal production branch.
