Abstract
Animal disease risk has gained increasing significance in the recent past. Particularly the emergence of Avian Influenza attracts global attention, as a subtype of the virus can even cause illness in the human population. In a global economic context, animal disease risk is one of the most significant risks, affecting one of the world’s most important industries. Hence livestock disease risk management efficiency, which is the focus of this article, strongly affects global welfare.
