Zusammenfassung: | This study was performed to determine breed preferences and fattening practices in private beef farms and effect of education and experience of farmers on these parameters. 167 beef farms were surveyed in a community and country center and 24 villages chosen intentionally. Most of the farms (53.9%) preferred crossbred animals in fattening. Illiterate farmers preferred native breeds 45.8%. As the educational level increased native breed preference decreased against crossbreeds. Most of the farmers (60.51%) applied 'rangeland+ration' program in fattening. This was followed by 'concentrate+roughage' (in barn) 21.6% and both programs (18%). Age of animal placed in fattening program was 10-18 months (82%). 57.5 % of farmers preferred mid term (120-220 days) fattening. 79.6% of high school+ farmers preferred long term fattening. Most of the farmers (70.9% ) ended fattening when animals reached slaughter weight, whereas 21% did thin when optimal price formed. 70.7% of the farmer slaughtered their animal at the end of fattening. 64.7% of farmers stated that they were happy with fattening business. As educational level increased, this happiness increased whereas as the age increase happiness decreased. 81.5 % of farmers marked the option I do not have any other job' as a reason why they were happy to do fattening.
