Abstract

The current study   aimed to estimate the technical and scale efficiency plus total factor productivity of cow (Baladi, Cross and Foreign) breeds in Egyptian Governorates. Records of means for cow breeds   were Baladi (92914.3), Foreign (7509) and Cross (137322) in Egyptian Governorates, Also the average quantity of milk produced by tons was 97662.6 during the period 2014-2016 for Egyptian Governorates.  The Size and population number of the farms under investigation in 27 Governorates were recorded during the period 2014 and 2016. Then statistical analysis using SPSS and DEAP software was applied. The results revealed that animals from six Governorates showed decreasing return to scale productivity as they were as following, Asyut (0.719), Beni-Suef (0.781), Sharkia (0.781), Dakahlia (0.916), Menia (0.921) and Suhag (0.921) and at the same time they have increased size of the farms to be technical efficient.   In addition, eight Governorates had low Malmquist total factor productivity; which were ;North Sinai (0.168), Damietta (0.643), Behaira (0.730), Gharbia (0.893), Kafr-El Sheik (0.951), Fayoum (0.973), Ismailia (0.981) and Asyout (0.986), respectively. Six of them showed constant return to scale productivity. On the other hand, North Sinai had shown increasing return to scale productivity and so should decrease size of farms to increase efficiency and productivity. The breed types had shown technical inefficient and technical changed is recommended to improve breeds to increase efficiency and productivity.
