Özet
Günden, C., Şahin, A., Miran, B. and Yildirim, İ. 2010. Technical, allocative and economic efficiencies of Turkish dairy farms: An application of data envelopment analysis. J. Appl. Anim. Res., 37: 213–216. Efficiencies of farms were measured using data envolepment analysis (DEA) on 87 dairy farms in İzmir, Turkey. Technical, allocative and economic efficiencies were 0.615, 0.673 and 0.488, respectively. Only three farms were efficient. 62% of farms had decreasing return to scale. It is concluded that the current gross production value could be preserved while decreasing the number of cows, labor (man-days) and maize silage (kg) by 50.29, 45.17 and 42.42%, respectively.
