The aim of this study is to measure the efficiency of broiler farms in Vojvodina by using data envelopment analysis (DEA) and to make the recommendations of possible sector improvement. Data obtained about used inputs and outputs were analyzed to measure efficiency of 30 broiler farms in Vojvodina. The outputs were aggregated into a single category (gross margin), while inputs were aggregated into five categories (animal feed costs, the costs of day-old chicks, labor costs, the cost of energy consumed and capital). By applying CRS and VRS DEA model, the efficiency of broiler farms on the average were 73.55 % and 95.97 % respectively. This indicate that there are possibilities of reducing inputs by an average of 26.45 % (CRS) or 4.03 % (VRS), and remaining the same produced amount of outputs.
