The health management and medication use in trout farms located in Erzurum province and its districts

Abstract

The aquaculture sector is very important both in terms of employment and the contribution of the products obtained to healthy nutrition. In order for this sector to grow at a sufficient speed and at a sustainable level, it is important to determine the diseases and control methods seen in the sector and to take more effective measures in this context. In this study, the level of use of drugs and vaccines currently used in land and dam fish facilities in Erzurum province and districts was determined, information and effective approaches were determined about the infectious diseases of fish in aquaculture environment and the drugs and vaccines used for these diseases. In this context, facility management practices were examined through questionnaires conducted with 41 farm managers in the region. At the end of the study, it was determined that the enterprises used an average of 51.58 kg of medicines, produced with a capacity of 50-100 tonnes and the most preferred water source (59%) was lakes. The enterprises mostly (54%) use open circuit system and 84% use pallet feed and 75% of the production is rainbow trout. The most common diseases are bacterial and fungal infections, parasitic and viral diseases. The preferred medicines are disinfectants, antibiotics, antiparasitics, supplements and fungicides. Although the producers work with 68% capacity, they stated insufficient demand, high costs and diseases as the reasons for this situation. Statistical analyses revealed important findings specific to the region through clustering analysis which identified two different groups on the basis of 22 important criteria. The results, in which the ‘Diana’ method was determined as the most appropriate clustering approach, provide applicable recommendations for improving facility management strategies. The findings provided detailed information on the drug utilisation patterns of the farms and made it possible to better understand the needs of the enterprises in the region. As a result, this study will provide important contributions not only to the strategic management of enterprises, but also to policy development processes for regional development.
