	abstract = {As part of a livestock consultancy in eastern Turkey Lincoln International  
consultants surveyed rural women to define their role in livestock management  
and their priorities for extension.  The results of group interviews of 200  
women in 19 villages showed that men are the agricultural decision makers,  
except in the few villages where men have off-farm employment.  Women are  
responsible for milking of animals.  They may assist with lambing and calving,  
cleaning animal houses and feeding stock.  Women were aware of the effects of  
animal disease and poor nutrition on animal productivity, effects they observed  
during daily milking.  They expressed an interest in receiving information on  
animal health.  Non agricultural problems identified were effective family  
planning, education for girls, and water supply for those villages without water  
piped to a central location. },
