Abstract In order to determine the current status of milking characteristics, hygiene and health protection practices in Saanen goat farms in Turkey, data were obtained from 92 farms through surveys in Çanakkale province. The farms are grouped according to the number of animals as small-scale (25–75 heads), medium-scale (76–150 heads) and large-scale (151 and overheads). As a result of the data observed, it has been seen that the majority of the farms (63.04%) had primary education and only 8.69% had education at the university level. While 44 farms have a milking machine or milking system in their farms, the other 48 farms use the hand milking. The 72.8% of the farms stated that they did not receive any training on milking hygiene and milking machines. Breast diseases are among the most common health problems in the farms (61.9%), followed by, digestive system diseases (8.6%), bacterial diseases (5.4%), foot diseases (2.1%) and viral diseases (4.3%), respectively. The prevalence of mastitis which is the leading cause of breast disease differs statistically in terms of scale (p < .05). In this period, the scale of the farms increased and the use of machine milking became widespread in dairy goat farms. Considering that Saanen breed goats, which have high milk yield, are also sensitive to diseases and are delicate breeds, it is important for the farmers to be educated and informed about breeding, herd management, and milking hygiene practices in order to increase milk production and quality and to prevent economic losses. Highlights The current status of milking hygiene and practices was evaluated. Mastitis was the most common disease (39.1%) observed in Saanen goat farms. To prevent economic losses due to diseases, farmers should be trained on hygiene and management practices.

萨嫩山羊农场的挤奶特性、卫生和管理实践：以土耳其恰纳卡莱省为例

摘要 为了确定土耳其 Saanen 山羊养殖场的挤奶特性、卫生和健康保护措施的现状，通过对恰纳卡莱省 92 个养殖场的调查获得了数据。农场根据动物数量分为小型（25-75 头）、中型（76-150 头）和大型（151 头和开销）。从观察数据的结果可以看出，大多数农场 (63.04%) 受过小学教育，只有 8.69% 受过大学教育。虽然 44 个农场在他们的农场有挤奶机或挤奶系统，但其他 48 个农场使用手工挤奶。72.8% 的农场表示他们没有接受过任何关于挤奶卫生和挤奶机器的培训。乳房疾病是农场中最常见的健康问题之一（61.9%），其次是，消化系统疾病（8.6%）、细菌性疾病（5.4%）、足部疾病（2.1%）和病毒性疾病（4.3%）。作为乳腺疾病的主要原因，乳腺炎的患病率在规模上存在统计学差异（p < .05）。这一时期，奶山羊养殖场规模扩大，奶山羊养殖场普遍采用机器挤奶。考虑到萨能山羊的产奶量高、对疾病也很敏感并且是脆弱的品种，因此对农民进行育种、畜群管理和挤奶卫生习惯的教育和了解非常重要，以增加牛奶产量和质量，防止经济损失。亮点 对挤奶卫生和实践的现状进行了评估。乳腺炎是萨能山羊养殖场中最常见的疾病（39.1%）。
