Abstract:

This study was carried out in order to determine the sustainable production and the factors affecting this in the fattening farms of Muş province. For this purpose, a survey was conducted with 368 farmers determined by using random sampling method in the center and districts of Muş province. In the research, 83.8% of the farmers stated that they wanted to continue fattening, while 16.2% of them stated that they did not want to continue. A positive relationship was found between the desire to continue breeding and age, education level and experience, and a negative relationship with the number of animals in farms. It has been determined that the fattening farms and those who fondly do it are more satisfied than those who do it because there is no other job and they want to continue their business. It has been determined that the farmers who sell their animals at a fair price at the end of the fattening are satisfied with the fattening and love it. As a result, the sustainability of fattening, the age of the operators, educational status and experience, the number of animals available, and the sale of animals at a fair price at the end of fattening positively affect.
