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

* OC = Opportunity cost
