In this study, husbandry activities in the city of Kilis were examined, and husbandry-related problems in Kilis and solutions for husbandry development were discussed. It is seen that the number of animals in Kilis is well below the country level of our country, except goats and sheep. As stated by the association presidents, in order to increase animal husbandry activities in Kilis, feed crop cultivation should be increased, pasture areas should be expanded, cattle breeding should be encouraged, and the shortage of shepherds should be eliminated. It is also suggested that free range beekeeping should be encouraged and honey forests should be created. In poultry farming, organic chickens and range free poultry should be encouraged. To increase meat and milk production and to make profit from it, animal husbandry associations and Directorate of Food, Agriculture and Livestock should provide trainings for the farmers on animal breeding, preparation of appropriate feed ration and feeding. Facilities should be built for processing and packaging animal products, importance should be given to breeding animal production, and animal shelters should be made more practical by making them low cost.
