Abstract
This study was carried out to determine the breeding practices, important income sources and the future of water buffalo farming in Çaycuma district of Zonguldak province. For this purposes, 36 breeders were determined from the villages of Çaycuma district to constitute the buffalo population in the region. It is predicted that these breeders in villages in different parts of the district will reveal the current situation of water buffalo breeding in Çaycuma district and have sufficient material for this. First of all, a survey study was conducted with the business owners through face-to-face interviews. In addition, the data of statistical institutions were used. The data were analyzed with the Proc Freq procedure in the SAS (2017) package program. The results showed that the average age of the breeders was over 50 and most of the breeders were breeding buffaloes due to the habit from the past. In Çaycuma region, buffalo milk, buffalo yoghurt and buffalo meat used in sausage production have been identified as the most important income sources of enterprises.
