动物健康经济学是一门相对较新的学科，它正在逐步开发一个坚实的概念、程序和数据框架，以支持优化动物健康管理的决策过程。该领域的研究主要涉及三个相互关联的方面：(1) 量化动物疾病的财务影响，(2) 开发在个体动物、畜群或种群受到影响时优化决策的方法，以及 (3) 确定疾病控制措施的成本和效益。本文描述了四种最常见的经济建模技术（即部分预算、成本效益分析、决策分析和系统模拟），并将其应用于三个层面的兽医决策：动物、畜群和国家层面。总结了迄今为止的成果，指出并讨论了不足之处。强调了经济学和流行病学之间密切联系对于未来发展的重要性，以及国际模型和程序交流的必要性和可能性。
Animal Health Economics is a relatively new discipline, which is progressively developing a solid framework of concepts, procedures, and data to support the decision-making process in optimizing animal health management. Research in this field primarily deals with three interrelated aspects: (1) quantifying the financial effects of animal disease, (2) developing methods for optimizing decisions when individual animals, herds or populations are affected, and (3) determining the costs and benefits of disease control measures. In the paper the four most common economic modelling techniques (i.e. partial budgeting, cost-benefit analysis, decision analysis, and systems simulation) are described and applied on three levels of veterinary decision making: the animal, herd, and national level. Outcomes so far are summarized, and shortcomings indicated and discussed. The importance of a close link between economics and epidemiology is stressed for future development, as well as the need and possibilities for an international exchange of models and procedures.
