Measures To Minimize Biological Risks In Dairy Farming: Cost Analysis

Table 4: Economic losses arising from the negative impact of risks in the field of microbiology

Risk factor Damage from the lack of offspring Damage from decline of milk production Damage from the forced slaughter of animals and mortality Damage from disposal of affected organs and carcasses Damage associated with the cost of improving the livestock Damage assessment
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (МBТ),Mycobacterium bovis,Mycobacteriumavium High. Associated with the forced slaughter of animals. High(up to 35%) Very high.Slaughter is required. Very high. Disposal is mandatory. High. Associated with a high retirement rate (up to 100%). Very high
Bacteria of genus Brucella(В. melitensis, В. аbortus, В. suis) High. Associated with the forced slaughter of animals (up to 90% abortions). High(20-39 %) Very high.Slaughter is required. Very high. Meat from animals serologically positive for brucellosis is neutralized by boiling. The meat obtained from the slaughter of animals with signs of brucellosis is destroyed. High. Associated with recreational activities. Very high
Bacteria of genus Leptospira(L. icterohaemorr-hagiае,L. grippothyphosa, L. hebdomadis,L. pomona,L. tarassovi) High. The death of offspring is up to 90%, 15-20% abortions in cows and up to 100% in sows. High(22-37%) High. Animals are treated with subsequent delivery for slaughter. Mortality is high (25-60%). High. If there are degenerative changes or icteric staining that does not disappear within 2 days, the carcass and all internal organs are sent for technical disposal. If there are no such signs, then the carcass and internal organs are released after boiling. High. Associated with treatment costs. High
Listeria monocytogenes High. The death of offspring and abortions up to 90%. Average(up to 20%) High. Animals are treated (with subsequent delivery for slaughter). Mortality with nervous forms of the disease is 100% and that with septic diseases is 50%. Average. Pathologically altered organs, blood and heads from sick animals are sent for technical disposal. Carcasses and internal organs without changes for the manufacture are disinfected for boiled, boiled-smoked sausages or canned food. High. Associated with treatment costs. High
