Özet:

The most important factor for individuals to live a healthy and quality life is sufficient and balanced nutrition, and milk and products are highlighted as nutrients that provide significant amounts of protein and energy. Manda is a animal that benefits from milk, skin, meat, neck and labour, can live in different environmental conditions, can consume low quality and crude foods. While worldwide the existence of mandas is increasing, the existence of mandas in Turkey has decreased significantly compared to the past periods. The purpose of this research is to analyze the existence of manda in Turkey in recent periods, the production of milk and the changes in prices. In this context, data from the twenty-year period between 2002 and 2021 have been used to analyze the possible changes that will occur by 2030 and to determine the regression rates. According to the results obtained in Turkey, the presence of mandas, the number of mandas, the amount of milk production, the productivity per animal and the prices of milk are expected to increase. The regression rates of these changes were fixed at 86.14, 84.55, 87.79, 1.35 and 98.31 per cent respectively. Mandals are an important economic activity area in the rural area due to their ability to consume unqualified food, adapt to all types of climate and environmental conditions, natural, organic and healthy meat and production of milk and dairy products. For this purpose, the support of the female/deve mammals in animal supports should be increased, more places should be given to the mammal cultivation in agricultural publication activities, and the cultivation activities mainly by small family enterprises in Turkey should be supported by additional public policies.
