Animal health is a significant influence on the productivity of livestock and the economics of animal husbandry. The range of animal health issues which can be usefully considered by economists is outlined. Some of the economic issues and problems involved in extrapolating farm-level and village-level estimates of the economic benefits of livestock disease control to the national level are outlined and discussed. The main problem is the possibility that aggregation or extrapolation of micro-data will fail to account for externalities, market changes dependant on aggregate production, such as variations in market price and changes in access to markets, such as export markets. Traditionally, cost-benefit analysis has been the most widely used technique for assessing the economics of control of animal diseases. It has been criticised by Mcinerney who suggests an alternative approach and this is considered. In conclusion, a brief outline is given of the Thai-Australian Animal Health Project (ACIAR Project 92804) which contains an economic component. 000164424 650__ $$aHealth Economics and Policy 000164424 650__ $$aLivestock Production/Industries 000164424 6531_ $$aAnimal Disease 000164424 6531_ $$aThailand 000164424 6531_ $$aACIAR 000164424 700__ $$aTisdell, Clem 000164424 8564_ $$96f1c1101-33bf-4f1f-bf3f-bb9b3d57b264$$s180707$$uhttps://ageconsearch.umn.edu/record/164424/files/WP2.pdf 000164424 887__ $$ahttp://purl.umn.edu/164424 000164424 909CO $$ooai:ageconsearch.umn.edu:164424$$pGLOBAL_SET 000164424 912__ $$nSubmitted by Clem Tisdell (c.tisdell@economics.uq.edu.au) on 2014-02-27T04:57:52Z No. of bitstreams: 1 WP2.pdf: 180707 bytes, checksum: ad1c9b8d895bc5203b4ae2a0ae6d7d35 (MD5) 000164424 912__ $$nMade available in DSpace on 2014-02-27T04:57:53Z (GMT).
