In this research an attempt is made to measure Average Product (AP), Marginal Product (MP), Value of Marginal Product (VMP) and Total Factor Productivity (TFP) of cooperative poultry units in Sistan region with the help of both secondary and primary data. Primary data which have been gathered through distributing questioners among producers were processed with the usage of EXCEL statistical software. With the intention of quantifying AP, MP a transcendental production function is estimated with the help of EVIEWS software and then from the production function MP and AP was estimated accordingly. In order to compute, TFP accounting method is utilized. The results show that in order to increase production in this sector technological change is necessary.
