“直接成本”可归因于30种不同的地方病的农场动物在英国估计使用标准化的方法来构建一个简单的模型，包括考虑疾病的预防和治疗成本的每种疾病。迄今为止开发的模型为进一步分析提供了基础，包括对疾病控制备选方案进行经济评估的成本效益分析。所使用的方法反映了固有的牲畜疾病信息约束，这限制了其他经济分析方法的应用。这是一种实用和透明的方法，相对容易传达给兽医科学家和政策制定者。下一步是通过将更广泛的经济考虑纳入分析来发展这一方法，以便向决策者和其他人表明从经济角度看待牲畜疾病问题的重要性。
The 'direct costs' attributable to 30 different endemic diseases of farm animals in Great Britain are estimated using a standardised method to construct a simple model for each disease that includes consideration of disease prevention and treatment costs. The models so far developed provide a basis for further analyses including cost-benefit analyses for the economic assessment of disease control options. The approach used reflects the inherent livestock disease information constraints, which limit the application of other economic analytical methods. It is a practical and transparent approach that is relatively easily communicated to veterinary scientists and policy makers. The next step is to develop the approach by incorporating wider economic considerations into the analyses in a way that will demonstrate to policy makers and others the importance of an economic perspective to livestock disease issues.
