Abstract: In this study, the effect of awareness of renewable energy sources on sustainable production in dairy farming was determined. One hundred thirty-six surveys were conducted in the research area. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to determine the effect of awareness of renewable energy resources of dairy cattle farms on sustainable production. According to the results of the analysis, the number of animals, land assets, and age of farmers were found to be statistically significant at a 5% significance level. Awareness of renewable energy sources, environmental factors, and economic factors were found to be significant at a 10% significance level. Therefore, biogas should be converted into electricity. In order to provide waste management, organization should be ensured, and animal waste collection centers should be established.
