Abstract:

Performance appraisal is the most important focal points of production units. In this study, the Casual Comparative approach applied to measure the performance of active poultry units in Zanjan province. Among the various performance measurement models, total productivity index of Malmquist Index was selected because of its greater effectiveness in measuring growth. In order to achieve a comprehensive model, all poultry farms in Zanjan province were considered for study; However, due to the lack of data required, only 30 poultry farms were selected for performance evaluation. In this study, the amount of initial hatching, feed consumption, energy costs, personnel costs and healthcare costs were selected as input variables and final slaughter weight and fertilizer weight were selected as output variables. Specialized software GAMS.34.1.0 and DEA SOLVER (V8) were used for data analysis. The result showed that among the existing decision units (DMUs), in the first period AL12 with 34.9% growth had the highest total productivity growth and AL14 with a decrease of 14.4% Has had the highest productivity decline. Meanwhile, AL14 with the changes in the method of feeding poultry in the second period has had the highest growth of total productivity. On the other hand, although the AL12 unit has had the highest growth in the first period, but due to lack of attention to costs Energy and non-optimal use of grain consumed in the second period are classified as low-growth decision-making units.
