“…Each animal disease on the software module has its "extension" for entering the additional data such are: costs of the outbreak of a disease where costs for laboratory investigations, vaccination, euthanasia, safe removal of dead animals' bodies, disinfection, disinsection, deratization etc. as well as the costs of compensation of the damage to the animal owner (Horst et al, 1999;Morris, 1999;Rushton et al, 1999;Te{i} et al, 2003;James, 2005).…”

A prerequisite to the development of an efficient animal health, food safety and traceability management system in the animal food production chain is the implementation of an integrated veterinary informational management system (VIMS) capable for the capture, storage, analysis and retrieval of data and providing the opportunity for the cumulative gathering of the knowledge and capability for its competent interpretation. Such a system will enable collecting appropriate data, including quality management and inspection controls, from all establishments and commodities in the 'from farm to fork' food production chain (farms, holdings, slaughterhouses, laboratories, traders etc.) in a structured, predefined format, and facilitate competent analyses and reporting of such data, as well as the improvement of the existing programs and strategies. The role of information system in animal disease diagnosis, surveillance and notification, control of national and international trade of commodities, food safety management, investigation of diseases, predictive microbiology and quantitative risk assessment is of great importance for the quality of veterinary service. Integral part of the VIMS is animal disease notification system designed according to and in compliance with international requirements, standards and recommendation and able to exchange relevant information with similar information systems. The aim of this contribution is to describe national animal disease notification system which is in place in Serbia as a part of VIMS

“…Theoretical economic analyses of farm behaviour identify compensation as a key policy instrument to align private incentives with social welfare (Hennessy, 2007;Gramig et al, 2009). As an example, Belgium and the Netherlands adopted a program whereby producers were paid more for diseased animals reported before they had died (Horst et al, 1999 as cited by Gramig et al, 2009). This policy encouraged early reporting to minimize economic damages.…”

A new decision support framework for managing foot-and-mouth disease epidemics

Animal disease epidemics such as the foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) pose recurrent threat to countries with intensive livestock production. Efficient FMD control is crucial in limiting the damage of FMD epidemics and securing food production. Decision making in FMD control involves a hierarchy of decisions made at strategic, tactical, and operational levels. These decisions are interdependent and have to be made under uncertainty about future development of the epidemic. Addressing this decision problem, this paper presents a new decision-support framework based on multi-level hierarchic Markov processes (MLHMP). The MLHMP model simultaneously optimizes decisions at strategic, tactical, and operational levels, using Bayesian forecasting methods to model uncertainty and learning about the epidemic. As illustrated by the example, the framework is especially useful in contingency planning for future FMD epidemics.Keywords Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) · Epidemic control · Decision support · Bayesian forecasting · Multi-level hierarchic Markov processes (MLHMP) L.
