  7. Project aim • Improvement of different yields (milk, meat, mohair, prolificacy) of national (local) sheep and goats in breeder conditions in Turkey. • While improving yield characteristics of small ruminants, infrastructure system of breeder organization, setting up animal registration systems and thereby the awareness of livestock breeders will be increased and also protect local genetic resources of Turkey in breeders level.

  8. Project justification • Lack of smallruminantregisterationsystem, • Lack of sheepandgoatbreedersorganizationsystem, • Insufficientsheepandgoatyieldcapacities, • Requirement of highcapacity ram andbillygoat, • Improvementsocio-economiclevel of sheep & goatbreeders.

  16. Faced problems • Lack of awaresness of breeders, • Coordination problems, • Lack of technicalbackroundbreeders, • Animal registetarion problems, • Breeders Association infrastructure problems, • Legal situation, • Budgetproblems, • Project leader and Project Technical staff problems, • Data managementproblems, • Correctandreliable data collectionproblemsetc.

  17. Perspective and results • Some projectswill be passedtoBreedersAssociationafter 2016. • Animalregisterationsystembaseswill be completedend of 2013. • AI (ArtificialInsemination) practicesswill be startedend of 2014. • Some farmswillstartedbreedingwithpedigreesystem. • Associationswill start tolocalbreedingprogrammewithout MFAL support. • MFAL will set uponlycoordinationandcontrolsystemforproject.

  18. Main Problems of Sheep&Goat sector in Turkey • Big part of breeds are indigenous breeds, • Local breeds have low genetic capacities, • Small farms don’t use modern technologies, • Small scale livestock farms are not effective • Sheep &Goatproduction is not attractive for young people • Marketing problems, • Lack of technical background of sheep & goat breeders, • Animal registration problems, • Breeders Association infrastructure problems.

  19. Turkey Livestock Production Perspectives • Tracking andcontrolsystemshould be improved, • Livestockpolicieswill be developedforincreasinganimalproduction, • Animalregisterationsystemsanddatabasesshould be enhancement, • Animalhealthserviceswill be furthered, • Livestockinputcostswill be decreased, • Marketing systemsshould be improved, • New financingcostshould be developed • Sheep&Goatorganizationinfrastructurewill be strenght, • Effectivetraningsytemsmust be set upforsheep & goatbreeders.
