Abstract
TRA2, which is a sub-region of North-eastern Anatolia Region, contains the least developed cities which are Ağrı, Iğdır, Kars and Ardahan within itself. It is seen that applied policies and provided governmental incentive have not contributed enough to the development of the region; therefore, difference of development level between the region and other regions has been increased progressively. It is, in the globalising world, thought that agricultural and livestock industries have lost their significance. However, even in the most developed countries, agricultural and livestock industries become more of an issue both economically and socially. Livestock industry is very important for healthy and balanced nutrition of the increasing population in Turkey like all over the world. On the other hand, this sector has social and economic functions on providing rural development. These functions provide balanced growth in the country reducing unemployment in rural areas in conjunction with social problems such as preventing rural-urban migration, decreasing the non-planned urbanization and overpopulation, and fulfil the obligations providing raw materials for the sub-industries such as flesh, milk, leather, cosmetic, medicine and etc. Livestock sector is in the forefront in the area because the region has suitable, quality and wide pasturelands. Livestock farming is carried through with sophisticated techniques as well as it is one of the most important source of income. Livestock sector is of prime importance since it adds high level value into entity investment, employs with low cost, and provides input for many branches of industry sector. The current state of the livestock sector that has a very significant role in developing the region, and the encountered problems were determined in the study; fields of activity related with developing the sector were analysed SPSS survey programme; and solutions about certain problems were proposed.
