ECM, kilograms of ECM milk yield from of all cows on the farm; TP, true within-herd prevalence; AP, apparent within-herd prevalence; EXP, expenses in million €; INC, income in million €; TNR, total net revenue in million € over 10 years.

The numbers are median results with 5 and 95% confidence limits, calculated over the 10 simulated years. Milk yield and economic values are shown in millions. Prevalences shown in % are the resulting prevalences at the end of the simulations.
