Economic Consequences of Paratuberculosis Control in Dairy Cattle Herds

The PTB-Simherd is a dynamic, stochastic, and mechanistic Monte-Carlo model simulating adairy herd including young stock. Paratuberculosis and relevant control strategies against thisdisease was built into an existing simulation model. The model is able to simulate bothepidemiological, technical and economic consequences of paratuberculosis and controlstrategies against it in th...

Simulating the Epidemiological and Economic Impact of Paratuberculosis Control Actions in Dairy Cattle

We describe a new mechanistic bioeconomic model for simulating the spread of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) within a dairy cattle herd. The model includes age-dependent susceptibility for infection; age-dependent sensitivity for detection; environmental MAP build up in five separate areas of the farm; in utero infection; infection via colostrum and waste milk, and it allows f...

Economic losses occurring due to brucellosis in Indian livestock populations.

Brucellosis is a serious public health issue in India. Estimation of economic losses occurring due to brucellosis is required to help formulate prevention and control strategies, but has not been done in India. We estimated economic losses due to brucellosis by sourcing prevalence data from epidemiological surveys conducted in India. Data for livestock populations were obtained from official re...

estimation of economic values and financial losses associated with dystocia for holstein dairy cattle of iran

the financial losses, absolute and net economic values (evs) for direct (dcd) and maternal calving difficulty (mcd) were estimated using a bioeconomic model and taking into account the categorical nature of the trait. the effects of dystocia on other traits were estimated. but because of low reliability they were not considered for calculations in the base situation. in the base situation, the ...
