New calculator illustrates the on-farm cost of livestock diseases

A new cost calculator model is now available to help the livestock industry put a price tag on disease outbreaks. The program,
built in an Excel spreadsheet, will calculate the financial impact of moderate or severe outbreaks of specific diseases on beef,

Q Fever in sheep, Caprine Arthritis and Encephalitis (CAE) in goats and Pasteurellosis in rabbits.
