Özet: The aim of this study was to analyse the economic structure of dairy cattle farms in Karacabey district of Bursa province in Turkey. The number of farms in the research area was determined through stratified random sampling method. The data were collected from a total of 208 selected farms by means of survey method. The selected farms were divided into three groups (5 to≤11 cattle, 12 to ≤26 cattle and equal 27 and >27 cattle). The data were based on the 2017 production period. The study concluded that the average daily milk yield and lactatiton milk yield per cow of farms were 18.72 kg and 4835.81 kg year-1. The total production cost was found to be $49103.07.
