Ranches

Projects from Konya Seker, which will set examples for Turkey for the development of stockbreeding in the region:

Making large amounts of investments in stockbreeding, which supports its main field of activity, Konya Seker is one of the fastest growing institutions in meat-dariy stockbreeding in Turkey. Konya Seker carries out its stockbreeding activities in 7 different ranches. Project designing activities for new breeding areas continue with ranches, whose contruction continues in Seydisehir and Cumra. Konya Seker moves toward its goal of 50 thousand breedings surely.

Seker milk ranch, which has breedings for dairy farming was founded in 2006. Breeding races, which have high milk yield, are raised at the facility with a capacity of 4 thousand 500 cattle.

It is also aimed to breed meat type races with high efficiency is planned with the transfer of embryos to be produced from male and female pedigree animals with high meat-milk yield through the embryo production center, founded in this facility. To this end, Tas Agil Breeding Farm has mostly Angus race and its establishment capacity is 4 thousand 860 cattle. Capacity has been increased to 10 thousand cattle with the new investments, made for the facility and it continues its fattening activities at full capacity. There are currently 2000 breeding anguses at Aslim breeding Angus Ranch, which started its activities in 2013 and established on 6 million square meter area for raising breeding anguses in their natural environment. Male anguses, born and raised at this ranch, have been sent to Eastern Anatolia in line with a Project of the Ministry of food, agriculture and livestock and are used as breeding bulls.

In addition, experiments have been made with anguses in different areas and elevations in Konya region. Studies, which increase adaptation of anguses to the region and minimize feding costs have been made during the experiments and successful results have been reached.

Gocu Ranch, which started its activities in 2013, has a capacity of 750 cattle. Various feeding experiments related to better development of livestock are conducted at our Ranch, which has a small capacity and successful formulas, obtained as a result of the experiment are also applied at other breeding farms.

Another ranch model of Konya Seker is Cattle Nursery. Called Cattlebank due to the model, applied by the ranchers, cattle at the ranch belong to the producers and high efficiency is targeted with collective care. Producers leave their cattle at this facility or quality animals are purchased on behalf of producers in this model project. Care of these animals, which belong to producers, is carried out collectively under supervision of veterinaries and nutrition specialists. Loss of products is not experienced at the facility, which has milking and shocking units, due to technological advantages and input costs are reduced, thanks to collective input supply and preventive medicine. The ranch sells milk to processing facilities at the best price. The model, which also increases negotiation power, has been created to pay the balance, after deducting expenses for each cattle, to the producer.
