According to the chi-square test, there was a relationship between the cities (Konya and Aydin) and the breed, shelter type, barn and stall floor, stall litter material, wall construction material (p<0.05). The necessary feasibility studies for the improvement of the barns should be carried out during the establishment phase of the enterprises and the benefit/loss ratio should be evaluated.
