THE ECONOMIC RESULTS IN MILK PRODUCTION AND CALFS ON LARGE PRIVATE FARMS

Abstract

Milk production in developed countries is based mostly on large farms due to the fact that during the development of cattle husbandry on the private farms in the last decades number of producers declined while the number of cows increased. Since the milk production in Vojvodina Province is likely to be based mostly on private farms in the future as well, one of the possible ways to reach the similar level of competitiveness as developed European countries is to gain and increase the concentration of cows on the farms. In the paper organizational and economic aspects of milk production have been analyzed on three private farms with more than 50 cows in Vojvodina Province.
