EFFICIENCY OF FAMILY FARMS KEEPING PIGS DEPENDING ON PRODUCTION SYSTEM

Abstract

The aim of the study was to determine the economic, production and technical efficiency of family farms maintaining pigs. The research was carried out in 40 farms specializing in the production of pigs (20 farms produced fatteners in the closed cycle and 20 in the open cycle). The study was performed in 2015-2016. The economic efficiency of production was calculated based on the division of costs into direct and indirect costs. The economic categories conform with the FADN terminology. DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) model was used for the calculation of technical efficiency. It was found that on farms producing fatteners in the open cycle there was a higher income from activity per 1 kg of pork and a higher rate of relative effectiveness.<br/><br/>
