Evaluation of milk production efficiency in large dairy farms in northwest of Iran
Journal Title: International Journal of Farming and Allied Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
This research investigates the efficiency of milk production in dairy farms with an annual production of more than 30 tons in Mianeh city of East Azarbaijan province, northwest of Iran. The Data was collected by completing the questionnaire and Deap software package was used for analyzing the data. The results of the study showed that the average technical efficiency of 28 units in the constant and variable returns to scale were 0.86 and 0.89, respectively. Among the dairy farms, units 21 and 24 were selected as the reference (six times) more than the rest. According to the results in nine units (32%), there was a possibility to increase production by a total of 217.64 tons per year, which was equivalent to an increase of 10.7% in current production.
