Starlings are the birds of the sturnidae family (songbirds) of the passeriformes (starlings) and Sturnus vulgaris species of sturnus. Since the starlings are the birds that cause significant economic losses in agricultural and especially in livestock enterprises, necessary measures should be taken within the scope of herd management. Starlings are invasive and predatory birds that cause serious damage to all kinds of agricultural activities. In the dairy cattle fed with total mixed ration, starlings consume grain and pellet feeds and rapidly reduces the milk yield by changing the nutrient composition of the ration.
