efficiency is defined as a concept that determines the input output ratios in an economic system. data envelopment analysis method is a useful tool to estimate the efficiency of a unit. the purpose of this study was to estimate technical efficiency and to determine return to scale of holstein cattle farms in guilan province. therefore, the information including the number of labor and dairy cow...

analyzing efficiency in each economic sector to adopt policies for optimal use of production factors and avoid wasting resources is important. in this study, in order to have a more comprehensive evaluation of the performance of each unit, efficiency of broiler firms was measured using bounded data envelopment analysis which determines position of each unit relative to efficient and inefficient...

Cost efficiency measures the cost of resource by output production. While conventional cost efficiency models set targets separately for each DMU, There are cases where the Central decision making is seeking the above targets, and at the same tries to obtain the target of Min cost efficiency for the total consumption. in this paper we consider that there is a centralized decision maker (DM). In...

Productive efficiency for Chinese hybrid and conventional rice production is estimated using a dual stochastic frontier efficiency decomposition model. Results reveal significant differences in technical and allocative efficiency between conventional and hybrid rice production, and indicate significant regional efficiency differences in hybrid rice production, but not in conventional rice produ...

Purpose: adjustment and expansion of evaluation items economic efficiency crop growing in the conditions irrigated agriculture, taking into account its features. Materials methods. In process evaluation, classical method investment analysis, computational-constructive method, one-parameter analysis sensitivity hydro-land reclamation project to key risks using parameter variation were used. The ...

the present study was conducted on efficiency of utilization of dietary energy for milk production in lactating crossbred cattle. 18 lactating crossbred cattle of early to mid-lactation, approximate body weight (375.39±23.43 kg), milk yield, parity and stage of lactation were divided into three groups of six animals each and were fed 0, 50 and 100% diammonium phosphate (dap) in the mineral mixt...
