The aim of this study is to analyse the effects of the
factors on the cost of kg live weight gain in cattle
fattening farms and to derive the implications from
these effects. The data from 129 farms were collected
during fattening period from 2000 to 2001. The
villages in Horasan, Oltu, Pasinler Towns and
Erzurum’s Central District, which include 66% of
fattening cattle and 59% of farms on cattle fattening,
were chosen by Designed Sampling Method. Cattle
fattening farms were chosen by Simple Random
Sampling Method according to their cattle numbers.
The parameters estimated were statistically important
and comply with economic theory. Lengthy of fattening
period, daily live weight gain and increase in farm
capacity had a negative effect on production cost.
Being effective in providing inputs and having higher
capacity minimize the cost of production in cattle
fattening farms in region.
