Primary data were obtained from 546 breeders randomly selected among members and non-members of the Cattle Breeders Association of Diyarbakir Province (DCBA) through structured questionnaires completed during face to face farmer interviews. Descriptive statistical analysis and logistic regression methods were used in the analysis of the data. A significant relationship was found between membership status and AI. However, there was no statistically significant difference between DCBA members and non-members on the willingness to apply AI in case of no government support. Government incentives, number of cross- and purebred cattle, and DCBA as the source of information have a positive significant effect on the willingness of the farmers to employ AI, while breeder age, distance from the closest city centre, farm family size, and share of the crop revenue in the total revenue have a negative effect on the adoption of AI.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCattle breedersArtificial inseminationBreeder unions membershipLogistic regressionDiyarbakırArticle17113891399WOS:0004575981000902-s2.0-8506135948110.15666/aeer/1701_13891399Q3Q4
