Description
To estimate the cost of major dairy cattle diseases 40 of the 167 dairy herds in Gyeongnam (Chinju) area were graded and selected randomly for participation in the National Animal Health Monitoring System. Gyeongsnag University veterinarians, Gyeongnam Livestock Promotion Institute veterinarians and clinic veterinarian visited each herd once a month for 12 months. Data on disease, production, management, finance, treatments, preventive activities, animal events, and any other relevant events were collected. Monthly and annual cost estimates of disease treatment were analysed by computer for each herd and grade (including cost of prevention). Results were expressed as cost per head and given separately for cows, young stock, and calves. In cows, the most costly 7 diseases were clinical mastitis, reproductive disorder, gastrointestinal problems, multiple system disorders, parturition complications, metabolic/nutritional disease, and lameness. In young stock, the most costly disease were the multiple system disorders, reproductive disorders, respiratory disease, gastrointestinal disease, and lameness. In calves, the most costly diseases were gastrointestinal disorders, respiratory disease, skin diseases, multiple system disorders, and metabolic/nutritional disorders
