The results of this study show that the most important risk source for farmers was lack of credit availability. This risk was followed by inadequacy of artificial insemination and increase in debt amount. Parasite control was the most important risk management for farmers. This was followed by off-farm work, off-farm investment and on-farm measures. As a solution to the lack of credit availability, it should be provided to ease of repayment in credit use and to inceasing opportunities to loan use with low interest rate of farmers.
