Özet

Self-sucking or sucking other animals in the herd, which has an abnormal behavior disorder, and it is an important problem in dairy cattle farms. Surgical treatment is mostly recommended as a treatment for this disease, which causes economic problems. In this study, which was carried out on self-sucking cows, it was aimed to investigate the effects on different surgical treatment techniques in modern and individual family businesses. While the surgical treatment of self-sucking behavior disorder in family businesses has been successful, the operation results of this behavior disorder in modern businesses have been unsuccessful. It was concluded that surgical treatment was unsuccessful in modern farms due to herd management problems. Surgical treatments for this visually acquired behavioral disorder of cows are insufficient. It has been concluded that environmental factors cause this behavior disorder and taking them into consideration while performing the operation will increase the chance of success.
