Translations:Advanced Field Epi:Manual 1 - Disease Control and Eradication Programs/159/en

  • The livestock production system or systems (if there are multiple separate systems) in sufficient detail to be able to describe production with and without disease. This will usually require some form of model to simulate the production system (number of females bred, proportion that get pregnant, number of calves born, annual loss rates, growth, turn off etc).
  • The occurrence of disease and the effects of disease on the livestock production system (mortality, morbidity, production effects) and on factors outside the production system.
  • Possible control measures including their effects on disease occurrence, livestock production and on market prices.
  • Details of the costs associated with implementing different control options.
