Abstract

Economic analysis of animal diseases is one of the components of animal health economics. In our country, the scale of the economy of animal health was quite modest. The concept was based on losses (damages) due to diseases and cost-benefit analysis of strategies to control or overcome diseases. This work can be conditionally called an economic analysis of animal diseases and strategies for elimination. The article has a ground structured component and economic analysis of disease creatures. Each of the components is considered and features are highlighted. In our opinion, the economic analysis of animal diseases primarily includes the economic efficiency of veterinary measures and their components, the saving of labor and material resources due to the use of more effective means and methods of disease prevention and treatment of animals, savings in related industries, strategy, forecasting and modeling of veterinary measures. Economic analysis of animal diseases makes it possible to determine the profitability of specific disease control programs and animal health management. The impact of animal diseases in the production system (animal husbandry of different levels) consists in reducing the profitability and results of production activities. The consequences of the disease can be divided into two groups: direct and indirect losses
