“…(1) Gross profit was calculated by subtracting the variable costs from the gross production value while net profit was calculated by subtracting total production costs from gross production value (Açıl and Demirci, 1984;Demircan et al, 2006;Hanrahan et al, 2018;Ramsbottom et al, 2015;Shoemaker et al, 2008).…”

The most remarkable technology brought to dairy farms by the digital transformation in agriculture is undoubtedly robotic milking systems (RMS). Knowing the economic impact of this technology is essential for farmers to adopt. For this purpose, in the study; a simulation model was created that gives possible economic analysis results as a result of the use of RMS by using the current economic analysis results of dairy farms. For the economic analysis of dairy farms, data obtained from face-to-face surveys from 148 dairy farms were used. Assumptions used in the simulation model for comparing RMS and conventional milking systems (CMS) were 8.66% increase in milk yield, 58.46% increase in investment costs, 36.66% increase in energy consumption, 1.33% increase in feed costs and 27.84% decrease in labor input. The economic analysis of the dairy farms was made again with these new input and output values obtained. While the simulation results show that the use of RMS is a preferable investment that increases profitability for 10-60 head and 121 + head groups; it shows that it will be an investment that negatively affects profitability for the 61-120 head group. The simulation model was used by taking the average values of the data belonging to the dairy farm groups. A dairy farmer considering an RMS investment can be able to obtain a result specific to his farm if he combines the simulation model with his own economic analysis results.

“…Gross margin is an important criterion that determines the competitive margin of the productive activity of business in terms of insufficient resource use. In other words, stated by Demircan et al (2006), the success of an enterprise can be seen from its gross margin or gross profit. The average gross margin for collectors was increased with the increasing capacity of business, amounting to 1,678,375; 14,241,945; and 79,672,250 IDR for the first, second and third group, respectively.…”

The study aims to assess the business characteristics of milk collectors and their roles in the marketing chain of milk in the district of Semarang, Central Java. The research was based on the original data obtained by interviews using a questionnaire in January, 2015 in the sub district of Getasan. Under the random sampling method, 32 milk collectors who collect and sell milk from dairy farmers were selected. For purpose of comparison, this business was fitted into three groups, i.e., business with capacity below 100, 100-500, and above 500 liters per day. Descriptive analysis was used to explain the findings of this study. Gross margin analysis and yield (price) uncertainty ratio were also used to examine the economic benefit gained and the degree of risks faced by milk collectors. Results revealed that the covered distance, the number of milk depositors, the amount of absorbed milk, gross margin, and net income were increased with the increasing capacity of business. In line with these, the greater the business capacity, the greater the risks be borne by collectors. The coefficient of price and yield uncertainty for business with capacity of more than 500 liters/day was the highest among groups. However, for overall, both prices and yield uncertainties faced by collectors were relatively low with coefficient of less than 20%. It means that risks borne by collectors were also moderately low. The roles of milk collectors in the milk marketing chain in Getasan were quite important because they were main milk suppliers for cooperatives. About 97% of milk was supplied by milk collectors. Collectors were also main milk buyers for dairy farmers. They connect farmers (either cooperative member or not) particularly in remote areas to cooperatives or greater milk collector in selling milk. They also helped farmers to overcome the problem related to limited access to formal financial institutions by providing loans.

“…Researches have shown that the farm size increases the income of farmers and as the farm size increases profitability increases (Demircan et al, 2006;. Since the farm size increases the fixed cost decreases and this increases profitability of enterprises.…”

There are approximately 6.3 million head of goats in Turkey and 90.5 % of this population is the Hair goat. The regions in which goat husbandry is intensively practiced are Mediterranean, Aegean and Southeastern Anatolia. There are 168000 heads of goat in Isparta and nearly all of this population is the Hair goat. Ministry of Environment and Forestry is aiming to decrease the goat population to one million and since the ministry has taken some actions, goat producers grazing their goats near forests are under threat. This situation puts goat producers both sociologically and economically under undesired conditions. Isparta province is rich of shrubs that are consumed only by goats. Goats convert shrubs that do not need any resource input for maintenance into animal products and thus help to establish economical, ecological and sustainable animal agriculture in terms of energy use. Sustainability in animal agriculture is very important and is the driving force in animal agriculture. In this paper sustainability in terms of energy use, economics and ecology is considered. It is suggested goat producers breed their Hair goats with higher producing Saanen goats to compensate their loss due to decrease in their goat numbers, and establish organizations to sell their products at a higher price. However some Hair goats which are disease resistant, adapted to malnutrition and well adapted to Isparta conditions, should be kept as an indigenous gene source and be given a chance to pass their genes to the next generation. If some structural measures are not taken, then goat husbandry may lose its sustainability and be lost.
