Estimating the cost of bovine tuberculosis at the public and farm levels: The case of Samsun Province, Turkey
Abstract
In this study, the costs of bovine tuberculosis cases at the public and farm levels were investigated in Samsun Province, Turkey. In determination of the public costs of the disease namely tuberculin costs, transportation costs, expenditure on personnel and the amount of compensation paid, were taken into consideration. In determining the losses due to the disease at the farm level, namely losses of milk and meat and the extra costs of animal replacement, were calculated. For the calculations where the disease was detected, information of outbreak and the breed yield averages of the infected animals were used. In 2016, the public cost of the disease was ₺ 652.780, with lost milk production valued at ₺ 563.500, and lost meat production valued at ₺ 37.646 for females and ₺ 6.193 for males. The cost of paid for animal restocking was calculated at ₺ 1.052 per animal. In addition, the total cost of the disease for Samsun Province in 2016 current prices was estimated at ₺ 1.418.971 ($ 403.117).
