| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Economic and epidemiological survey were conducted in Vietnam and Sri Lanka. Based on economic theory, appropriate animal hygiene system in developing countries were analyzed and proposed.
In Vietnam, the results reveals the older the cows owned by a farmer, the more likely farmer is to take out livestock insurance. It indicates the existence of moral hazard with respect to livestock insurance in surveyed areas. The surveillance system and penalties for insurance would need to be developed for animal insurance.
In Sri Lanka, the study was to investigate the farmers’ socio-economic factors and their association with Brucella prevalence. The results revealed that the farm level prevalence was 9.6% in the area of study. It was indicated that farmers’factors, such as ethnicity and poverty are significantly associated with epidemiology of brucellosis. "Farmer factor", which has been neglected, should be carefully considered in animal disease control plans.
