The present study is the first study which is about measuring the efficiency of cattle fattening enterprises with data envelopment analysis in Turkey. In this study it is aimed to comparatively present the performance score of intensive cattle fattening enterprises in the Northeast Anatolia Region with data envelopment analysis in two fattening periods. The CCR input method model was established with 10 inputs and 3 outputs for analysis. The analysis program was operated with "Super Efficiency" command to see efficiency score differences among DMU. As a result of measurements, performance scores that belong to total 143 DMU were determined. According to that, while the performance score mean of DMU in first fattening period were 112.01 in all DMU, 103.97 in small scale DMU, 113.82 in medium scale DMU, and 124.88 in large scale DMU, DMU's performance score means were 105.89, 108.94, 99.40, and 94.13 respectively in the second fattening period. The inefficiency DMU rate was measured as 22.79% in the first fattening period and 31.25% in second fattening period. When two fattening periods were compared in view of measurements, it was observed that there was a significant difference between medium and large scale DMU's performance scores (P < 0.05). In conclusion, it is considered that the increase in the number of inefficiency decision making units in the second fattening period was caused by the excessive increase in the fattening material cost, the low carcass meat price in comparison to the increase in the fattening material cost, and the decrease in the capacity utilization rate.
