Translations:Advanced Field Epi:Manual 1 - Disease Control and Eradication Programs/35/en

Voluntary programs may have some regulatory support (for example legislative support for the use of vendor declarations or movement controls), but are being used increasingly as an alternative to regulatory programs, particularly where most of the benefits of the program flow to producers, rather than consumers or the general public. Examples of voluntary programs include the early stages of enzootic bovine leucosis eradication in dairy cattle in Australia and Johne’s disease control programs in many countries.
