Abstract: 【Objective/Meaning】Animal husbandry plays an important role in raising the household income and stabilizing the rural economy.So,the production efficiency of meat livestock and poultry in Taiwan was studied and the successful experience of livestock and poultry breeding were summarized.【Methods/Procedures】The production efficiency and its changes of 8 kinds of meat livestock and poultry in Taiwan were studied by using the DEA model and Malmquist productivity index.【Results/Conclusions】The results showed that the comprehensive technical efficiency of 7 kinds of meat livestock and poultry was more than 0.9,and that of meat goats,broiler,red feather native chicken and mule duck was 1,reaching the optimal state.From 2008 to 2018,the total factor productivity(TFP) of livestock and poultry fluctuated alternately,and the average TFP was 1.001,with an average annual increase of 0.1%.The improvement of total factor productivity of livestock and poultry in different years was positively correlated with the change of technological progress.The improvement of total factor productivity of different breeds of livestock and poultry was caused by the joint promotion of technological progress and efficiency progress,and the technological progress was the main force.The production of livestock and poultry for meat in Taiwan was small,but the production efficiency was high under the promotion of technological progress,which was related to the emphasis of Taiwan on the livestock science and technology,and the strengthening of livestock breeding,breeding management technology and disease prevention and control.Therefore,the animal husbandry in Taiwan has been developing towards refinement and specialty.
