TI  - A Study on Structural Characteristics of the Cattle Barns in İspir County of Erzurum Province
AB  - This study was carried out to determine the structural characteristics  of the barns and related problems in the cattle enterprises in İspir  county of Erzurum province. For this purpose, a face-to-face survey  was conducted with 325 randomly selected enterprise owners. It was  determined that 94.7% of the barns in the enterprises in the county  consisted of tied free-stall barns. Furthermore, 33% of the barns were  between 16 and 20 years old and 31.2% of them were older than 21  years. Stone (95.4%) and brick (66.2%) were commonly used as  building materials in the construction of the barn walls, and mainly  galvanized sheet metal (77.4%) was used for the roof. The barn floor  was also determined to be mostly concrete (61.9%) or stone (48.2%).  Some of the standard barn elements were available in almost all of the  enterprises in the county, such as feeder (100.0%), urinary canal  (85.3%), window (96.7%), however other elements such as the feeding  alley (6.6%), automatic waterer (1.3%) and ventilation holes (22.8%)  were available in a small number of enterprises. The relationship  between the number of windows in the barns, the level of farm size  and the level of education of the breeders was found to be statistically  significant (P<0.01). The percentage of enterprises with two windows  in their barns was the highest (48.2%) in the county, and this was  followed by enterprises with three, four, one and five windows in the  barn, respectively.
