“…However, studies on the demands and expectations of enterprises in ensuring the sustainability of goat breeding enterprises are limited. Ensuring the sustainability of goat breeding in forest villages in the Mediterranean Region has an important share in the development of the local people (Bekiroğlu and Tolunay, 2010a;Bekiroğlu and Tolunay, 2010b).…”

Turkey's forest area is approximately 23.1 million ha, covering 29.44% of the country's surface area. About 20 thousand villages and 7 million forest villagers live in these areasThe vital activities of forest villagers, whose main livelihood is agriculture and animal husbandry, face severe damage from forest fires. The "Regulation on Procedures and Principles on Animal Grazing in the Forests and in the Grassland, Plateau, and Winter-Passage," published by the General Directorate of Forestry (GDoF), has been entered into force in 2012. According to this regulation, the areas where grazing is prohibited and allowed are specified. According to the GDoF of Forestry, sheep and cattle are grazed systematically in forest areas in 53.1% of our country's forest areas. However, it is still being determined what kind of grazing system will be implemented for forest villagers since all areas around the forest villages are burned in massive forest fires. The study aims to determine the principles of grazing plan and management for the forest villages of Antalya province Manavgat district after the great forest fire. The original data of the study area consists of fire data in the Manavgat district, forest management plan data, and forest village data damaged by fire at various levels. Considering these data, The principles of planning on how to use approaches such as suitability analysis, SWOT and RWOT analysis, and Logit model for functional grazing management and planning of goat breeders have been determined. The most critical problem forest villagers face after the massive forest fires are the complete restriction of sustainable goat breeding. It is necessary to decide on a new grazing plan, and management approaches for such areas to maintain life practices despite legal regulations. This study established a new grazing plan, management opportunities, and principles.

“…Goat breeding is one of the traditional occupations, which has been performed for many years in rural regions [ 10 ]. The areas in Turkey where pure hair goat breeding is most widely conducted are the Aegean, Mediterranean, and Southeastern Anatolian Regions [ 11 ]. Nomads living in these areas have been breeding pure hair goats in the upper basins of that region for centuries [ 12 , 13 ].…”

This study investigated grazing capacities of maquis scrubland and preparation principles of grazing management in forest resources. Kermes oak (Quercus coccifera L.), which is widespread as a main shrub species in maquis vegetation in Turkey, and pure hair goats (Capra hircus L.) feeding on shoots and leaves of this shrub were selected for study. The study was conducted in two stages. Green leaf and shoot samples were taken from kermes oaks in the first stage and the amount of green herbage yield (g∗m−1) and dry matter yield (kg∗ha−1) that may be obtained per unit area from these samples was identified. The considered amount of dry matter consumed by pure hair goats daily and the number of goats being fed within 1 year on land of 1 ha according to different land coverage rates of kermes oaks (goat head∗ha∗yr) were calculated. In the second stage, grazing capacities of sample areas where kermes oak spread were identified and compared with the grazing plan prepared by the forestry administration for this area. Forage yield variance according to land coverage rates of maquis scrublands should be considered when determining optimum animal numbers for grazing per area for sustainable goat farming.

This study aims to investigate the effect of stocking rate on forage availability (vegetation cover (VC) and forage mass (FM)) and the growth performance of pure hair goat kids (Capra hircus L.) in Mediterranean Kermes oak shrublands. Two villages that had the same ecological conditions but where the presence of pure hair goats did or did not exceed the grazing capacity were selected specifically within this scope. The birth weight (BW) and the daily live weight gain at 90 days (DLWG at 90 days) of pure hair goat kids in these villages were identified and compared in order to monitor their growth. As a result, there is a very strong positive correlation between the growth performance of goat kids, and VC and FM in these villages (P<0.01). Results indicated that high stocking rate effect forage availability and this situation cause decrease in the growth performance of goat kids. It was concluded that forage availability and stocking rate in grazing plans are points to consider providing sustainable goat farming.Key words: Stocking rate, Forage availability, Growth performance, Pure hair goat, Kermes oak Akdeniz Kermes Meşesi Makilik Alanlarında Otlatma Kapasitenin Yem Varlığına ve Oğlakların Gelişim Performansına Etkisi ÖzetBu çalışmanın amacı, Akdeniz Kermes meşesi makilik alanlarında otlatma kapasitesinin, yem varlığı (vejetasyon kaplama ve yem kütlesi) ve kıl keçisi oğlaklarının (Capra hircus L.) büyüme performansları üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Bu kapsamda, kıl keçisi varlığı, otlatma kapasitesini aşan ve aşmayan aynı ekolojik özelliklere sahip iki köy örnek olarak seçilmiştir. Bu köylerde, kıl keçisi oğlaklarının büyüme performanslarını belirlemek için doğum ağırlığı ve 90 günlük ağırlıkları tespit edilmiş ve kıyaslanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, bu köylerde, kıl keçilerinin büyüme performansları ile vejetasyon kaplama ve yem kütlesi arasında çok güçlü pozitif bir ilişki olduğu bulunmuştur (P<0,05). Yüksek otlatma kapasitesinin, yem varlığını etkilemesinden dolayı oğlakların büyüme performansını olumsuz etkilediği tespit edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlara bağlı olarak, otlatma planlarında yem varlığı ve otlatma kapasitesi, sürdürülebilir keçi yetiştiriciliğini sağlamak için göz önünde bulundurulması gereken önemli noktalardır.
