Abstract
Milk production mainly from the caws varies in different areas of Albania. In field areas, productivity has grown as a result of the increasing number of caws, the increase in productivity and improvement of basic food. Feeding according to stages is a programme that includes herd feeding in time periods based on the milk productivity level, fat quantity in milk, food quantity consumed and the weight of the animal alive. Farm producers need to draft food rations in a way so that can fulfill animals need in each of these stages for an optimal production, to minimize or avoid metabolic anomalities, to increase animals lifetime and the profit from animal herd. The main purpose of this study is the usage of contemporary methods in the economic analyses of utilizing resources, materialized in small domestic farms. The study took place in “Agrotex’’ farm in Lushnje district. The data was analysed and processed according to nutrition stages (1-up to 150 days of lactation, 2-over 150 days of lactation and 3-withering period ) milk yield and calves weight on birth for a period of 6 years. In addition to nutrition stages, the data was analysed and processed also for milk yield and calves weight on birth. The study utilizes the method of approximation of undetermined variables to solve restriction systems, as well as Cobb-Douglas production function to analyse the impact of food portion components on milk production. This study proves that balance nutrition makes up for the primary factor to increase the effectivity of economic farms.
Keywords: optimal structure, milk production, nutrition, approximation with the method of undetermined variables, food portion.
