Determination of the Effects of Supports in Forage Plant Production on the Manufacturers in Sanliurfa

In animal production, feeding cost covers 70% of the total inputs. The best way to establish an economy in animal production is to reduce feeding costs. Thus, especially the weed and silage requirements in animal feeding should be supplied from within the enterprise. As in almost all countries, forage plant breeding is supported within the scope of the support supplied for forage plant growing in Turkey to encourage the production of roughage. In this context, the following prices determined per decare per year for 2017 are that clover grown on barren conditions is 40 Liras; clover and sainfoin grown on irrigated conditions is 60 Liras; annual plants, silage annual plants, and silage barren corn are 40 Liras; artificial meadow and pasture facility is 60 Liras, and silage watery corn is 90 Liras.
