Bovine Ephemeral Fever (BEF) is a viral infection that causes a significant decrease in milk and meat production, infertility in cows and bulls, abortion and a significant economic loss due to its rapid spread in the herd. Partial budgeting method was used in the study to measure the economic impact of vaccine use and non-vaccination use. In line with preventive medicine, it has been determined that if animals are vaccinated regularly, there is an average of 8.10 (dolars) vaccination cost per animal, but the average treatment cost of an animal that has not been vaccinated during the epidemic is 20.2 (dolars). It was determined in the economic analysis that in addition to the treatment costs, the loss of milk for a dairy cow increased to approximately 85 (dolars), for a livestock to 148 (dolars) with the loss of condition, but the economic loss increased due to high morbidity. In this context, early diagnosis, detection and monitoring of spreading conditions are as extremely important as vaccination in the fight against BEF infection. It can be said that the economic loss will be minimized with the vaccination and preventive medicine practices to be made by rapid intervention to the disease with the early warning system created by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry for this purpose in Turkey.

Türkiye’de Üç Gün Hastalığı ve Ekonomik Boyutu

Bovine Ephemeral Fever (BEF), süt ve et üretiminde önemli bir düşüşe, inek ve boğalarda kısırlığa, düşüklere ve sürüde hızla yayılması nedeniyle önemli ekonomik kayıplara neden olan viral bir enfeksiyondur. Çalışmada aşı kullanımının ve aşı kullanmamanın ekonomik etkisini ölçmek için kısmi bütçeleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Koruyucu hekimlik doğrultusunda, hayvanlar düzenli aşılanırsa hayvan başına ortalama 8,10 (dolars) aşı maliyeti olduğu, salgın sırasında aşılanmayan bir hayvanın ortalama tedavi maliyetinin ise 20,2 (dolars) olduğu belirlendi. Yapılan ekonomik analizde tedavi maliyetlerine ek olarak kondisyon kaybı ile birlikte süt ineği için süt kaybının yaklaşık 85 (dolars), besi hayvanı için 148 (dolars) olduğu, ancak yüksek morbidite nedeniyle ekonomik kaybın arttığı belirlendi. Bu bağlamda BEF enfeksiyonu ile mücadelede aşılama kadar erken teşhis, yayılma koşullarının tespiti ve takibi de son derece önemlidir. Türkiye'de Tarım ve Orman Bakanlığı tarafından bu amaçla oluşturulan erken uyarı sistemi ile hastalığa hızlı müdahale edilerek yapılacak aşılama ve koruyucu hekimlik uygulamaları ile ekonomik kaybın en aza indirileceği söylenebilir.
