Abstract

The purpose of the research was to find out the economic efficiency of different types of cattle breeding specializations. The income of farms was evaluated on the basis of models. The results have shown that price relationships had a decisive influence on the efficiency of
particular type of specialization. At the current price relationships in Slovenia milk production is economically still the most efficient type of specialization and hard to compete with by the farms specialized into fattening cattle breeding due to large areas of agricultural land required by this type of specialization. Stable price relationships are necessary for a more rapid development of fattening cattle breeding
but, without an appropriate premium policy, breeding of fattening cows and that of slaughtering first calving heifers in the conditions where agricultural land is a limiting factor will not be able to undergo
a more intensive development.
