It is obvious that the producers can solve the problems, which they confront in input procurement, production under suitable and qualified conditions, and marketing of their products, more easily by being organized. Additionally, it is required for producers to be the members of the cooperatives as a prerequisite for the purpose of benefiting some promotions and supports. In this context, TRA Region in which animal breeding is in the foreground within the agricultural sector was included within the scope of this study. In this study, based on the data of 257 questionnaires made by face-to-face technique, probit analysis method was used to determine the factors which are effective on membership of the producers in the cooperatives. Consequently, it is determined that age of the producers, their experiences in animal husbandry, their income from sources other than the animal husbandry, number of their own animals and quantity of the support to be provided are significantly effective on membership of the producers in the cooperatives. By considering these factors, it is again emphasized the fact that it is necessary to increase the numbers and functionalities of the cooperatives which play an important role in producers' being engaged in a profitable activity.
