Özet:

 It was aimed to determine the structural condition of the barns in 220 randomly selected dairy cattle enterprises in Konya and Aydın provinces. The material of the study consisted of data from 117 enterprises from Konya province and 103 enterprises from Aydın province. Between January and March 2024, a face-to-face questionnaire was applied to the breeders. It was found that 57.27 of the shelters were semi-open, 76.21 used concrete floors, 71.82 had foot diseases, 36.36 cleaned feces mechanically and 51.82 had less than 50 animals. As a result of regression analysis, while the effect of number of milkings, type of barn and the presence of a brusher on average daily yield was found to be significant p0.05, the effect of stall litter material, presence of ventilation chimney, stool cleaning method, hoof care frequency, milking method, drinker type and ventilation system was found to be insignificant p0.05. According to the chi-square test, there was a relationship between the cities Konya and Aydın and the breed, shelter type, barn and stall floor, stall litter material, wall construction material p0.05. Structural conditions of barns directly affect animal welfare. In Konya and Aydın provinces, the structural conditions of the barns should be improved, and welfare should be given importance. The necessary feasibility studies for the improvement of the barns should be carried out during the establishment phase of the enterprises and the benefitloss ratio should be evaluated. Since the good structural condition of the barns is related to animal welfare, the goal should be to achieve the best. For this purpose, it is suggested that training should be organized to inform breeders and these trainings should include topics such as: designing shelters that meet the needs and allow for changes, animal behavior and welfare, and breed-specific characteristics.

 Çalışmada, Konya ve Aydın illerindeki süt sığırı işletmelerinden tesadüfi olarak seçilen toplam 220 işletmede, ahırların yapısal durumunun belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmanın materyalini Konya ilinden 117 işletmeye, Aydın ilinden 103 işletmeye ait veriler oluşturmuştur. Verilerin elde edilmesi amacı ile 2024 yılı Ocak-Mart ayları arasında yetiştiricilerle görüşülerek yüz yüze anket uygulaması yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın yapıldığı işletmelere ait sonuçlarda ahırların 57.27sinin yarı açık barınak tipine sahip olduğu, işletmelerin 76.21inin beton zemini kullandığı, 71.82sinde ayak hastalıkları ile karşılaşıldığı, 36.36sının dışkı temizliği için mekanik yolları kullandığı ve 51.82sinin 50 baş ve altı hayvan sayısına sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Yapılan regresyon analizi sonucunda günlük sağım sayısının, barınak tipinin ve işletmede kaşağı varlığının günlük verim ortalaması üzerine etkisi önemli bulunurken p0.05, durak altlık materyali, havalandırma bacasının varlığı, dışkı temizleme şekli, tırnak bakım sıklığı, sağım şekli, suluk şekli ve havalandırma sisteminin günlük verim ortalaması üzerine etkisi önemsiz bulunmuştur p0.05. Yapılan ki-kare testine göre şehirler Konya ve Aydın ile yetiştirilen ırk, barınak tipi, barınak ve durak zemini, durak altlık materyali, duvar yapı malzemesi arasında ilişki tespit edilmiştir p 0.05. Ahırların yapısal durumları doğrudan hayvan refahını etkilemektedir. Konya ve Aydın illerine bakıldığında her ikisinde de ahırların yapısal durumlarının iyileştirilmesi ve refah konusuna önem verilmesi gerekmektedir. Ahırların iyileştirilmesi için gerekli fizibilite çalışmaları, işletmelerin kurulum aşamasında yapılmalı ve fayda  zarar oranı değerlendirilmelidir. Bu değerlendirmeler yapılırken işletmenin bulunduğu bölge göz önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Ahırların yapısal durumlarının iyiliği hayvan refahıyla ilgili olduğundan hedef en iyiye ulaşmak olmalıdır. En iyiye ulaşılması için yetiştiricileri bilgilendirmek amacıyla eğitimlerin düzenlenmesi ve bu eğitimlerin: ihtiyacı karşılayan, gerektiğinde değişikliğe izin veren barınakların tasarlanması, hayvan davranışları, hayvan refahı ve ırka özgü özellikler gibi konuları içermesi önerilmektedir.
