by face to face questionnaires. Data were collected from 48
goats and 64 sheep enterprises at 32 villages and town. The

data about the enterprise; the enterprise's housing and landscaping;
data about the feed and feeding methods used in the
enterprises; milk production and hygienic criteria in the enterprises
and farm management.<p>
<b>Results:</b> The average number of sheep and goat per enterprise
were found 94.8 and 117.8 heads respectively. It was

primary school at the rates of 85.9% and 77.2% respectively.
Examined sheep enterprises 84.4% was semi-open type
barn. This rate was 70.4% in goat enterprises. Duration of
suckling period of lambs in sheep enterprises were between
4 to 6 months, kids suckling period ranged between 4 and
7 months in goat enterprises. In this research average milk
yield was found in sheep and goat enterprises in 32 villages;
0.5±0.09 l/day/sheep and 0.5±0.3 l/day/goat, respectively.<p>
<b>Conclusions:</b> This research was the first study to demonstrate
