This study analyzed data collected on a slaughterhouse from 2017 to 2021, belonging to five hundred and twenty one Anatolian water buffalos from different farms located in Edirne, Istanbul, and Kirklareli. Specifically, it aimed to determine the factors affecting the carcass weights and slaughter ages of the Anatolian water buffalos. The results of the study showed that the slaughter age of the buffalos was a significant determinant of their carcass weights. Meanwhile, the sex, slaughter year, and slaughter season affected the carcass weight. Differences were observed for the slaughter age regarding the sex and farm origin. Since the pricing system in local markets is based on the buffalo carcass weight, the findings of this study could be essential for farmers when determining their fattening strategies.
本研究分析了2017年至2021年在一家屠宰场收集的数据，这些数据来自位于埃迪尔内、伊斯坦布尔和克尔克拉雷利的不同农场的521头安纳托利亚水牛。具体而言，其旨在确定影响安纳托利亚水牛肉胴体重和屠宰年龄的因素。研究结果表明，水牛的屠宰年龄是其胴体重的一个重要决定因素。同时，性别、屠宰年份和屠宰季节会影响胴体重。在屠宰年龄方面，观察到了性别和农场来源的差异。由于当地市场的定价系统基于水牛肉胴体重，本研究的结果对于农民确定育肥策略可能至关重要。
