- To control or eradicate diseases with severe productivity and economic consequences including trade in animals and animal products (e.g. foot-and-mouth disease);
- To protect human health from zoonotic infections (e.g. bovine spongiform encephalopathy, bovine tuberculosis, anthrax);
- To maintain product quality (e.g. chemical residues);
- To protect unaffected producers or regions from disease that may be endemic in other regions (e.g. footrot, ovine brucellosis, Johne’s disease, cattle tick);
- To reduce indirect effects of disease on unaffected producers who are not in a position to take action themselves to effectively prevent or control the impacts of the problem on their enterprise (e.g. chemical residues, Johne’s disease); and
- To reduce the impact of disease on affected herds and flocks (e.g. mastitis, internal parasites in sheep).
