Livestock heat management in Turkey

Overview

Livestock in various Turkish regions are utilizing water and mud to manage high summer temperatures. In Diyarbakır, a farmer leads a herd of 55 camels and cattle to a creek for several hours daily to prevent dehydration.

In the Ankara district of Kızılcahamam, water buffalo are using lakes and mud pools to escape the heat. Experts note that the milk produced by these animals in such grazing areas is highly nutritious, with buffalo milk specifically noted for its high protein and fat content.
