Fig. 5.

Boxplot of the net revenue in the different scenarios over 10 simulated years for a herd that was initially free of MAP. The use of single or multiple suppliers for pregnant heifers are shown. The numbers 1, 5 and 10 represent the number of heifers purchased per year. The risk of introducing infection is given by: random risk = random supplier from the empirical distribution of herd prevalence in Denmark; low risk = 0% to 5%; medium risk = 5% to 15%, and high risk = 15% to 45%. The whiskers show the 90% simulation envelope
