Description
Analyses of the impacts on production of 5 endemic diseases and conditions of dairy cattle in mainland UK are presented: bovine diarrhoea virus, fasciolosis, lameness, leptospirosis and mastitis (including summer mastitis). These analyses follow from a preliminary economic study of the impacts on livestock production of some 30 non-notifiable diseases and conditions of farm animals (Bennett et al. 1997). The study was funded by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food in the UK, with the eventual aim of providing information to policy makers to help them reach decisions on allocating funds to research into livestock diseases. Full details of the analyses are available on the website http://www.rdg.ac.uk/AcaDepts/ae/AEM/livestockdisea/. It is concluded that mastitis and lameness result in substantial losses to dairy production
