For this purpose, in Çanakkale Province, which has 234.408thousand head goats, mostly dairy goat breeding, 30 enterprises were selected through proportionalsampling to determine the herd size for technical herd analysis and economic sustainability in familysubsistence. The parameters obtained are milk yield (2.1 L), herd size (168.21 heads), number ofanimals milked (82.54 heads), milk marketing rate (96.75%). 52.30% of milk production costs arevariable costs and 47.70% are fixed costs. Feed costs have the highest share in total production costswith 43.88%. In the enterprises, 68.34% of the total gross production value obtained from goatbreeding is milk, 27.06% is Productive Fixture Increase and 4.60% is fertilizer income. The cost of 1L milk in the enterprises was calculated as 1.73 TL (USD 0.36), (the average rate of 1 USD in 2018is 4.81 TL). 1 L of goat milk price is 3 TL (USD 0.62), (Canakkale, Turkey, sales price, 2018)considering; It has been determined that the enterprises make an average profit of 1.27 TL / L perliter (42%). With the calculated parameters, a profit of 602.27 TL (125.21 Dollars) was obtained fromonly milk sales in a production period from a dairy goat. A family of four the poverty line, accordingto the Turkey Statistical Institute 2018 poverty study results are reported on a monthly 6609.000 TL.As a result of the research, the average milk yield is 2.10 L, and as a result of the calculation madeconsidering the average milking time of 225 days and the profit obtained from it, the number of milkygoats that will meet the poverty line for a family of four was determined as 131 headseninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessTarımsal Ekonomi ve PolitikaZiraat MühendisliğiVeterinerlikEconomic Sustainability of Dairy Goat Breeding Enterprises and Determination of Herd Size for Family LivelihoodArticle8112491249710.24925/turjaf.v8i11.2491-2497.3981423527
