“…Moreover, grazing management has a significant impact on the sustainability of perennial forage crop farming, and organic farming and mass husbandry can cooperatively progress together. As Hazar Kalonya (2018) has established, there are ecosystem tools like a fire tool, a rest tool, a grazing tool, and an animal-effect tool of grazing management that can help to find a symbiosis of mass husbandry and organic farming [19,29,41].…”

The agricultural sector has historically been the forefront economic sector in Turkey and is crucial for the rural sustainability and the pastures that are critical for biodiversity. However, inadequate policies and factors such as climate change and malpractices result in brittle pastures, rural–urban migration, and a declining agricultural sector. Also, pastures have been left without function and appropriated to other land uses such as quarries, energy power plants, and mines. Although the husbandry sector produces significant greenhouse gas emissions, pastures have a significant capacity of CO2 sequestration. In this study, Life cycle assessment (LCA) is applied to quantify the advantages and disadvantages of the transition between extensive and intensive production. The methodology presents a holistic analysis of the several impact categories and amounts of relevant products, services, and resource emissions along their life cycles. In order to assess the environmental effects of the lamb meat production, three sheep breeding systems in Turkey are evaluated. The study aims to promote a sustainable use of natural resources/assets without compromising the quality, competitiveness, or animal welfare and obtain recommendations for the future husbandry systems and rural development in Turkey. As an overall result, it can be stated that the intensification of sheep farming can lead to a decrease of greenhouse gas emissions per kg of meat. However, extensive sheep farming shows less impacts on soil acidification or eutrophication and can even be beneficial for erosion resistance or biodiversity if properly managed.

Bu çalışma, dev kralotu (Pennisetum hybridum) bitkisinden farklı katkı maddeleri ile hazırlanan silajların besin madde içerikleri ve in vitro sindirim parametrelerinin tespit edilerek, ruminantlar için alternatif bir kaba yem kaynağı olarak kullanılabilirliğinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Ayrıca hazırlanan silajların besi sığırı tam rasyonunda (TMR) mısır silajı yerine %25, %50, %75 ve %100 oranlarında kullanılmasının in vitro parametrelerde oluşan değişim-ler ile in vitro rumen sıvısı amonyak azotu ve rumen uçucu yağ asitleri düzeylerine olan etkileri de araştırılmıştır. Bu amaçla 120 günlük dev kralotu (Pennisetum hybridum) bitkisinden katkısız, inokulant+enzim, fumarik asit ve arpa unu katkıları ile 10’ar paralel halinde dört farklı silaj grubu oluşturulmuştur. Silaj örnekleri ile yapılan analizlerde; dev kralotu silajları arasında en yüksek kuru madde (KM), ham protein (HP), nispi yem değeri (NYD) ve lif içermeyen karbonhidrat (NFC) oranları arpa unu katkılı dev kralotu silajında belirlenmiştir (P
