Özet:

 Objective: This study was carried out to determine the calf rearing practices of cattle farmers in Askale district of Erzurum province. Materials and Methods: For this purpose, data were obtained by conducting a face-to-face survey with 221 farms in the center and villages of Aşkale district. Results: According to the findings obtained in the study, colostrum is given to calves for 3 days in 72.8 of the farms. It was also determined that the calves were fed colostrum by suckling their dams in majority of the farms 82.2, the calves were separated from their dams immediately after birth 24.6 or 1 day 28.0 after birth. Dry hay 73.8 took the first place in the roughage sources used in the farms, followed by straw 48.4 and alfalfa 34.8. Calf feed is mostly preferred as concentrate feed in the farms. It was found out that the applications of septicemia serum 25.8 and umbilical cord care 31.7 were performed at minority of the farms. As a result of this, the rate of the farms had at least one calf death in a year 96.1 was found to be quite high in the district. It was also determined that 87.6 of calf deaths were caused by diarrhea. Moreover, 15.0 of the farms were determined to be practicing dehorning. The relationships between the number of calves dying per year, septicemia serum and dehorning process practices and the farm size were found to be significant. However, relationships between farm size and calf feeding practices are insignificant. Conclusion: It was determined that the farm in Aşkale district have deficiencies in calf health, feeding and raising. In order to reduce the calf deaths awareness of the farm owners about the vaccination and other preventive health should be increased in the district. Cattle farm owners in the district should be included in training programs on animal health, feeding and breeding. In addition, intensification of agricultural extension services in rural areas will be beneficial for cattle farmers in the district.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, sığır yetiştiricilerinin buzağı yetiştirme uygulamalarını ortaya koymak amacıyla Erzurum ili Aşkale İlçesinde yürütülmüştür. Materyal ve Yöntem: Bu amaçla, Aşkale merkez ve köylerinde 221 işletme sahibiyle yüz yüze anket çalışması yapılarak veriler elde edilmiştir. Araştırma Bulguları Araştırmada elde edilen bulgulara göre, işletmelerin 72.8inde buzağılara kolostrum 3 gün süreyle verilmektedir. İşletmelerin çoğunda 82.2 buzağılara kolostrumun annesinden emzirilerek verildiği ve buzağıların annelerinden hemen doğum sonrası 24.6 veya doğumda 1 gün 28.0 sonra ayrıldığı da tespit edilmiştir. İşletmelerde kullanılan kaba yem kaynaklarında kuru çayır otu 73.8 ilk sırayı alırken bunu saman 48.4 ve yonca 34.8 takip etmiştir. Kesif yem olarak çoğunlukla buzağı büyütme yemi kullanılmaktadır. İşletmelerde septisemi serumu uygulaması 25.8 ve göbek kordonu bakımının 31.7 düşük düzeylerde yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Buna bağlı olarak ilçede yılda en az bir buzağı ölümü gerçekleşen işletme oranının 96.1 da oldukça yüksek olduğu belirlenmiştir. Buzağı ölümlerinin 87.6sının ishalden kaynaklandığı tespit edilmiştir. Boynuz köreltme işlemini ise işletmelerin 15.0i yapmaktadır. İşletme büyüklüğü ile yılda ölen buzağı sayısı, septisemi serumu ve boynuz köreltme işlemi uygulamaları arasındaki ilişkiler önemli bulunmuştur. Ancak buzağı besleme ve yemleme uygulamaları ile işletme büyüklüğü arasındaki ilişkiler önemsizdir. Sonuç: Aşkale İlçesindeki işletmelerin buzağı sağlığı, beslemesi ve yetiştiriciliği konularında eksikliklerinin olduğu belirlenmiştir. İlçede buzağı ölümlerinin azaltılması için işletme sahiplerinin aşı ve diğer koruyucu sağlık tedbirleri konusundaki farkındalığının arttırılması gerekmektedir. İlçedeki sığırcılık işletme sahipleri hayvan sağlığı, besleme ve yetiştirme konularındaki eğitim programlarına dâhil edilmelidir. Ayrıca kırsal alanlarda tarımsal yayım hizmetlerinin yoğunlaştırılması ilçedeki sığır yetiştiricileri için faydalı olacaktır.
