This study aimed to contribute to devising approaches for developing a broiler integration system and a method for evaluation by examining evaluation methods using empirical analysis and conducting an analysis and management efficiency and productivity. Overall efficiency in the CCR model was higher in the order of relative performance measure, absolute performance measure and portion relative performance measure. Technical efficiency in the BCC model was higher in the order of relative performance measure, absolute performance measure and portion relative performance measure. Scale efficiency was higher in the order of absolute performance measure, relative performance measure and portion relative performance measure. In accordance with the analysis results on the yearly change of the Malmquist Productivity Index (MPI), a relatively effective frontier change was caused by the improvement of management efficiency rather than technical production change in all three performance measures. It could be concluded that feeding and management by farms had a more significant impact on productivity than the improvement of a Feed Conversion Ration (FCR) by integration companies. As a result, the establishment of broiler integration system performance measure indexes, which are unique for Korea, is needed. a change from the present relative performance measure to performance measures which eliminate the top and bottom 10% is required.
