to evaluate the current state of the wastes formed
in the stables and the operations applied to these wastes in Niğde province and
its districts where typical local cattle livestock activities were present. A
questionnaire was applied to 187 cattle husbandry operations (beef-milk
cattle). The obtained data was interpreted and compared with the literature and
the current situation was presented. The study results indicated that no waste
management system was found in nearly all of the enterprises. Additionally, the
waste management systems owning enterprises were inadequate and the wastes were
kept in unhealthy conditions. Cattle breeding is a sector that is constantly developing and growing
along with other animal product outputs as well as providing the basic
foodstuffs of Turkey. While animal husbandry and side facilities are constantly
growing, the wastes also come into play proportionally. Despite the fact that
these wastes are processable and controllable, they are left uncontrollably and
cause irreparable damage to our natural resources. The leaching pollutants to
the groundwater during the holding of the wastes may lead to the pollution of
the environment along with a bad odor in the region. This study was conducted
