Mathematical Modeling of Foot and Mouth Disease Spread on Livestock using Saturated Incidence Rate

Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) is an acute infectious disease that attacks livestock, thus threatening the availability of food husbandry industry. This paper discusses formulation a mathematical model for spread FMD in livestock with saturated incidence rate. The research method used quantitative modeling simulation, stages including problem identification, determining assumptions, formulation, analysis simulation. discussion results obtained two equilibrium points, namely non-endemic point endemic point, then analyzed stability. Numerical simulation presented using Runge-Kutta approximation MATLAB. Furthermore, after sensitivity analysis, parameters greatly influenced were direct or indirect contact (which led to entry virus) supporting capacity livestock. Then most influential parameter reducing application culling on exposed animals infected animals. form simulate
