“…Also, the findings indicated that the higher knowledge level of pastoralists in rangeland management, the higher income from animal husbandry. The results of other studies have confirmed the obtained findings 36 , 47 . For example, Maasai pastoralists in Kenya use traditional methods to manage livestock nutrition, diseases, breeding and protection against predators and other accidental events 10 .…”

Pastoralists have managed their lands for a thousand years, but they are ignored in the land management approaches. They have comprehensive information about their rangelands, coming from extensive observations and experiences in continuous herding. This research has focused on revealing the mechanism of knowledge-based behavior of pastoralists for rangeland management. The statistical population is made up of 50 pastoralists, all of whom were included in census. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire that measured the knowledge-based behavior of pastoralists with 58 items in three indicators i.e. exploitation, conservation, and restoration. The validity and reliability of the research instrument were assessed using the opinions of local experts and Cronbach's alpha (α = 0.877). The knowledge-based behavior of pastoralists were from the highest to the lowest related to exploitation, conservation, and restoration with the average of 2.35, 2.07 and 1.58 respectively. Exploitation knowledge, restoration knowledge and conservation knowledge had the strongest and weakest significant relationship with the knowledge-based behavior of pastoralists. “The adequate growth of palatable plants is a sign of the start of grazing” and “the soil should not be wet for the start of grazing” had the highest importance for rangeland exploitation with a values of 0.816 and 0.784 respectively. For rangeland conservation, “holding meetings by elders regarding rangeland conservation is useful” and “reducing the number of pastoralists during droughts is one of the rangeland conservation ways” were the most importance items with the values of 0.852 and 0.848 respectively. For rangeland restoration, “implementation of grazing systems (rotation or rest rotation grazing systems) is one of the rangeland restoration ways” and “the appropriate distribution of watering points is one of the rangeland restoration factors” were the most importance items with the values of 0.840 and 0.812 respectively. There was a positive and significant relationship between the age, history of pastoralism and income with the knowledge-based behavior of pastoralists in rangeland management. Therefore, the presented approach based on indigenous knowledge can be considered as an effective component for rangeland management and can strengthen the positive effects of both management systems and create a transformation in the status of natural resources by a compatible combination of indigenous knowledge and modern knowledge. It is worth noting that by knowing these indicators, we can take an effective step in planning and policy making as well as proper management of rangelands.

“…Recently, there has been an increasing interest in consuming traditional fermented products produced using various raw materials, special microbiota, and production methods (Negrete-Romero et al, 2021). Kayseri province, located in Central Anatolia, is the production center of processed, fermented meat products such as sucuk and pastırma (Cevher, 2023). Sucuk is a typical dry-fermented meat product produced in Türkiye and consists of a mixture of beef and/or buffalo meat, beef fat, sheep tail fat, salt, sugar, nitrite/nitrate, and various spices such as garlic, red pepper, black pepper, cumin, and all spice (Kaban, 2010).…”

The present study was conducted to identify acid-resistant lactic acid bacteria from fermented Turkish sucuk, detect phylogenetic affinities, and probiotic/biotechnological profiles. Samples were collected from popular fermented meat retail stores in Kayseri (n:20). The selected lactobacilli were exposed to different pH. Isolates resistant to pH2 were identified by sequencing following the 16s rRNA gene amplification and recorded in GenBank. The pH2 is distinctive for lactobacilli, as most (61.9%) of lactobacilli were inhibited (P <0.05). Isolates surviving at pH2 were determined to be Limosilactobacillus fermentum. The survival rates in bile salt, simulated gastrointestinal juices (between 97.13-106.60%), and autoaggregation, hydrophobicity, and coaggregation of isolates were statistically significant (P <0.05). L. fermentum S19 was the only isolate capable of producing exopolysaccharide; S19 had a high autoaggregation and hydrophobicity over 70%. Traditional Turkish fermented sucuk is a product with enormous potential, containing the newly isolated wild-type L. fermentum, which stands out for biotechnological/probiotic properties.
