Abstract

This paper Identifies factors that affect the productivity and economic efficiency of dairy breeders. The research problem is focused on low production efficiency (milk production in Egypt compared to other countries), which is reflected in the lower average consumption of Egyptian animal protein than the level of safety. The research aims to show milk producers' productivity and economic efficiency from its various sources in the Ibrahimi and Minya al-Qamh Centres in the Al-Sharkia governorate. The research used SPSS V. 20 in linear, logarithmic, and double images to reach the best images, the results of which are consistent with statistical and economic logic. The study proved that the most important factors affecting the production of cow's milk were the amount of concentrated feed and the amount of human action, while the factors affecting buffalo milk production were the amount of green and dry feed. We conclude from the indicators of economic efficiency that Minya al-Qamh is better than that of The Patriarchs (except buffalo in the first category and this is consistent with the results of the production functions because production is done in the non-economic phase).
