      abstract = {This essay evaluates the on-farm financial impacts of an  avian influenza outbreak on a U.S. commercial broiler  operation. It investigates how the timing and length of the  outbreak impacts farm financial performance for two  different farmers, beginning and experienced. Results  indicate that a beginning farmer is more susceptible to  significant financial losses. Both farmers are financially  impacted more when avian influenza is contracted early in  the investment and when the contamination and eradication  of the virus was prolonged. Furthermore, this essay  highlights the problems of using standard financial  measures for analyzing disease outbreaks under production  contract arrangements and presents alternative measures for  financial performance. This study provides the foundation  for future research to determine actuarially fair premiums  for avian influenza insurance mechanisms.},
