This paper identifies and makes analysis of the impact of chosen seven factors on the size and productivity of fodder area in 24 farms of the Lublin region specializing in milk cattle breeding within four years. The level of direct cost per 1 unit of fodder area as well as the share of purchased bulky fodders in fodder balance of those farms mainly influenced the size of fodder area per 1 big cattle head. As far as cows milk efficiency is concerned, it had the slightest impact on the differentiation level of the analysed fodder area size. Both the share of purchased bulky fodders in farms’ fodder balance and the level of direct cost per fodder area ha greatly influenced differentiation of the analysed fodder area productivity levels. Moreover, the paper identifies and examines coefficients characterizing fodder area in 10 farms specializing in milk cattle breeding in the Bieszczady Mountains region analogically to the Lublin region. The size of fodder area per 1 big unit cattle head in Bieszczady region was on average higher by about 12.8% and the efficiency of that area measured in cereal units was on average lower by about 21.0% comparing to analogical coefficients in the surveyed farms of the Lublin region.
