Table 4. Partial budget model to compare economic benefit of MLV over FVI on a load-close-expose program to eliminate PRRSv from an infected 1,000 sows breeding herd.
Treatment | Cost to expose | Opportunity Cost for pigs not weaned | Opportunity Cost for w-f performance | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Exposure | TTBP | Total loss | OC* | TTS | OC | Total OC | ||||
MLV | $3,000 | + | 12 | 1,222 | $81,532 | + | 32 | $199,799 | = | $284,330 |
FVI | $100 | + | 20 | 2,665 | $177,809 | + | 25 | $132,969 | = | $310,878 |
Difference (MLV-FVI) | $ 96,277 | $-66,829 | $26,548 |
