Abstract

With respect to role of cattle breeding industry in food security and also the place of Tehran province in animal husbandry sector, technical, allocative, economic and scale efficiency of DAIRY CATTLE FARMS in Pakdasht and Rey counties in southern of Tehran was investigated. For this purpose, efficiency of dairy cattle breeding farms was evaluated using DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS (DEA). Data were collected from documents, observation and interview with farmers. Results showed that half of the producers were technically efficient. Although about 51 percent of producers were technically efficient but their allocative and ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY levels were low. The average TECHNICAL EFFICIENCY of farms was 0.93, but the average allocative and economic efficiencies were 0.45 and 0.42 respectively. Results showed that 40 percent of producers were scale efficient. Assessing returns to scale, results showed that returns to scale of 37 producers was increasing, 2 producers was decreasing and 26 producers was constant. Results indicated that inefficient producers must decrease consumption of alfalfa, corn silage, concentrate, medicine and health care costs to increase efficiency.
