Livestock income represents 37.5% of the total agricultural income in 2015.
In the light of the research problem, a summary of the objectives of this thesis can be summarized:
1. Measuring the technical and economic efficiency of both traditional producers and factories using both the parametric and non-parametric models.
2 - Analysis of the factors affecting the technical efficiency and its relationship with the sizes of the farms capacity.
3. Estimation of cost functions for traditional dairy farms.
4. Use SWOT analysis to study all weaknese, threats, strengths and opportunities for this sector.
5. Propose a general framework for a model for achieving sustainable development in the dairy sector
The study computed the milk amulet which satisfy the maximum profit according to cubit cost function
the singes and the significance of its parameters and compatelile with the economic and statistical logics.
According to the result of parametric and nonparametric models the main result are:
1. The technical efficiency of cow breeders was about 0.619, while the allocation efficiency averages were 0.85, and the economic efficiency averages were 0.522. The technical efficiency of bufflo was 0.739, while the allocation efficiency averages were about 0.809, and the economic efficiency averages were 0.605. Thus, the first hypothesis can be rejected and this means these farms can increased all these efficiency (technical efficiency).
2. The most important factors affecting the technical efficiency of cows or buffalo were farm size (number of animals), age and years of education. for farmers Thus, the second original hypothesis for these three variables can be rejected.
