“…While the feed requirement of these animals is about 95.6 million tons, total forage crop production is about 55.5 million tons. When 11.7 million tons of feed production from meadows and pastures are added, the forage deficit, which was reported as 28.4 million tons in 2019, could not be completed [5]. Farmers producing forage crops have been supported since 2002 in order to provide forage crops needed by livestock.…”

“…Farmers producing forage crops have been supported since 2002 in order to provide forage crops needed by livestock. Despite the agricultural subsidies provided to producers, the targeted feed crop production level could not be reached, indicating that these subsidies are not sufficient [5]. Accordingly, studies have been conducted to investigate the effect of subsidies on forage production [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of farmers’ socioeconomic characteristics on sustainable forage crop production after forage crop subsidies. One of the innovative aspects of the study is the simultaneous modeling of alfalfa, silage corn and vetch production efficiency. For this, the multivariate linear regression model was used. In this way, the effect of socioeconomic characteristics on production is more clearly demonstrated by taking into account the dependency structure between forage crop production. For the study, 487 farmers in the Aegean region, where fodder crops can be produced throughout the year, were interviewed face-to-face and data were collected through a questionnaire. According to the results obtained, it was determined that the width of the land had a positive effect on the increase in alfalfa, silage corn, and vetch production. The number of animals was found to have a positive effect on alfalfa and silage maize production growth. The production of alfalfa was higher in rural farmers, and vetch production was higher in urban farmers. Farmers who do not have non-agricultural income focused on vetch production, and farmers with non-agricultural income focused on alfalfa production. It was seen that the majority of the farmers participating in the study were primary school graduates and lived in rural areas. In general, a significant increase was observed in the production of silage corn, vetch, and alfalfa, respectively. After the subsidies, it was concluded that this increase in the production of silage corn, vetch, and alfalfa was not at a level to meet the amount of forage crops needed by animal husbandry.

“…The amount of quality roughage that the existing animals should consume annually is 86 million tons. The amount of roughage obtained from forage crops cultivation areas and meadow pastures in our country is 31 million tons, and there is a 55 million tons of roughage deficit (Acar et al, 2020). According to 2022 data, the number of cattle was 17 million and the number of sheep and goats has increased to 56 million (TUIK, 2023).…”

This study was carried out in the year 2015-16 and 2016-17 growing season in order to determine and compare the yield, digestibility dry matter and relative feed value of straw obtained from cereals. In the study, which was carried out in three replications according to the randomized blocks experimental design; 3 bread wheat, 3 durum wheat, 3 triticale and 4 barley cultivars were used as plant material. The difference between cereal species in terms of plant height, biological yield, seed yield, straw yield and crude protein was statistically significant (P≤0.01). In terms of these features the highest results were obtained from triticale straw and the lowest values were obtained from barley and bread wheat straw. At the same time, the lowest crude protein ratio was obtained from triticale straw, where the best yield results were obtained. The difference between cereal species in terms of crude protein yield, ADF and NDF contens, digestibility dry matter and relative feed values were found to be statistically insignificant. As a result, it was determined that the species with the highest yield among the species was trikale. In terms of quality criteria, it was determined that only the crude protein content was statistically significant among the species and the lowest value was obtained from triticale and the highest value was obtained from bread wheat and barley in terms of this property.

“…The annual roughage need of animal stock in Turkey is 86 million tons. The roughage yield obtained from forage crop fields, meadows and grasslands corresponds to 31 million tons, with the deficit being 55 million tons (Acar et al, 2020). This leads to an inability to feed the existing cattle with high-quality roughage, resulting in reduced yield.…”

The aim of current study was to determine of intercropping forage turnip “FT” with cereals “C” (barley, “B”, wheat “W” and oat “O”) for herbage yield and competitive ratios in Bilecik conditions in 2019-2002 and 2020-2021 growing periods. Plants were sown as sole and in 3 different mixtures (75FT+25C%, 50FT+50C% and 25FT+75C %). Experiments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. In the study, herbage yield, land equivalent ratio (LER), competitive ratio (CR), aggressivity (A), and actual yield loss (AYL) values were determined. The herbage yield was ranged from 23.91 to 43.24 t ha-1.The highest LER value 50FT+50O% (1.43), while the lowest was in 75FT+25W% (0.94) mixture. It has been determined that the competitive ratios of cereals are higher than forage turnip. Besides, the AYL decreased with the increase in cereals ratio in mixtures. As a result, it was determined that the addition of cereal to the forage turnip increased the herbage yield and the mixtures performed better than the monocrops. Besides, according to the all traits, it was concluded that it would be appropriate to sown forage turnip with barley and oats at a seed rate of 50+50% and 25+75% in Bilecik ecological conditions.
