Abstract

Disease causes losses in many forms for livestock producers. This study evaluates swine farrowing losses resulting from a pseudo rabies outbreak. Losses are estimated through a case study of detailed records available from a swine production firm that operates numerous farrowing facilities. Pig production loss levels were estimated through use of regression techniques. For the firm a pseudorabies outbreak resulted in a 5.28 percentage point reduction in pigs weaned over a 17 week period. This resulted in an economic loss of $16.21 per sow farrowed over the outbreak period.
