Singh, B | Prasad, Shive
A simple mathematical model has been formulated to assess losses due to diseases in sheep in India. The secondary data of 15 years (1991_2005) taken from Annual Reports of Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India were used for the study. Year-wise number of incidence and deaths were estimated with respect to diseases, viz. FMD, anthrax, sheep- and goatpox, facioliasis enterotoxaemia, PPR and bluetongue. The numerical results reveal that bluetongue accounted for maximum incidence and deaths followed by PPR. Taken together, these diseases accounted about 77.1% of the total economic losses due to all diseases in sheep in India. The total annual average economic loss in sheep was Rs 492.17 lakh. The annual loss was maximum in the year 2005 (2606.96 lakh) and minimum in the year 2002 (Rs 46.29 lakh).
