Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to provide the students with information about cattle breeding issues and to provide an understanding of these issues.
Course Content
It has been shown that undergraduate students of zootechnical department have practical skills in milk cattle breeding, current breeding systems for cattle breeding, cattle shelters, cattle breeds, external structure characteristics and cultural and native cattle breeds and factors affecting milk production, milk quality, Using the information of breeding works in today's aquaculture systems, allows for applications in cattle breeding enterprises that are important in the future of Turkish agriculture
