N.B. The population of FMD-susceptible livestock is aggregated into farms of constituent herds based on species and farming practices.
a
A farm can have one or more herds. A farm has static attributes (e.g., ID, type and constituent herd IDs), and dynamic attributes describing disease control and eradication status.
b
A herd has static attributes (e.g., ID, type, size, latitude and longitude, jurisdiction, region, and nearest weather station), and dynamic attributes describing infection status.
