Protocol for the Cost-benefit Analysis of Dairy Cattle Health Management
By:Paul A. Cummins
Published on 1983 by

This study establishes a protocol for the cost-benefit analysis of dairy cattle health management which will be utilized within the Food Animal Health Resource Management System (FAHRMX) at Michigan State University. The goal is for the data storage and processing capabilities of microcomputers to be exploited for the rigorous economic analysis of specific disease control procedures on indvidual commercial dairy farms. The data requirements and modeling difficulties that must be overcome for such analysis are discussed. A single equation multivariave linear model of milk production, based on data available previous to FAHRMX, is used to demonstrate how inclusion of culled cows helps corret for the high positive parameter estimate expected for cystic ovaries. Future improvements depend on the identification of a set of simultaneous equations. Results of a questionnaire concerning farm infrastucture as it relates to dairy cattle health care also presented.
