Abstract
Aim: To develop a simple
mathematical model to assess the losses due to peste des petits
ruminants (PPR) in small ruminants in India.
Materials and Methods: The study was based on cases and
deaths in goats and sheep due to PPR from the average combined
data on ovine/caprine as published by Government of India for the
last 5 years (2008-2012). All possible direct and indirect losses
due to the disease, viz. mortality losses, losses due to direct
reduction in milk/wool yield, losses due to reproduction failure,
body weight losses, treatment costs and opportunity costs, were
considered to provide estimate of annual economic losses due to
PPR in sheep and goats in India. Based on cases and deaths as
reported in sample survey studies, the annual economic loss was
also estimated.
Results: On the basis of data reported by Government of
India, the study has shown average annual economic loss of Rs.
167.83 lacs, of which Rs. 125.67 lacs and Rs. 42.16 lacs
respectively are due to the incidence of the disease in goats and
sheep. Morbidity losses constituted the greater share of the total
loss in both goats and sheep (56.99% and 61.34%, respectively).
Among different components of morbidity loss, direct body weight
loss was the most significant in both goats and sheep. Based on
cases and deaths as reported in sample survey studies, the
estimated annual economic loss due to PPR in goats and sheep is Rs.
8895.12 crores, of which Rs. 5477.48 and Rs. 3417.64 crores
respectively are due to the disease in goats and sheep.
Conclusion: The low economic losses as reported based on
Government of India data points towards underreporting of cases
and deaths due to the disease. The study thus revealed a
significant loss due to PPR in small ruminants on a large scale.
Keywords: goat, incidence, economic loss, economic modeling
of diseases, PPR.
