dc.description.abstractThis study aimed at analyzing the factors which affect the milk production amount in the Hatay province by means of the functional analysis. Within the study, data from 141 dairy cattle enterprises in the Hatay province were used as the main material, which were chosen by the Stratified Sampling Method. According to the research results; the number of cattle average per enterprise was 11,04, the dairy cattle average per enterprise was 4,87, the annual milk production amount average per enterprise was 27 tons, and milk production per dairy cattle was 18,7 lt. According to analysis results based on the Cobb-Douglas production function; roughage, concentrate feed, cereal grains, labor force usage, and veterinary and medicinal expenses were found to affect the milk production amount during the lactation period positively. The production elasticity total of the variables in the estimating equation was found as (?bi) 1,225, which indicates increasing returns to scale. Among the variables of the equation, roughage was found to have the highest efficiency coefficient with 3,18. According to the values obtained from the ratio of technical substitution levels of the production factors to the price levels, input combinations used in production were found economically improper. In other words, resource utilization of the factors in milk production in the research area was not at a rational level. In order to carry out more profitable milk production activities in the research area; the enterprises could concentrate on growing more forage plants on their fields, and using their own cereal grains in forage rations. Additionally, it’s important for the enterprises to increase the level of the pure breed/pure breed cross ratio in the herd population. © 2021, Universidade Federal Rural de Pernambuco.
