*Direct outbreak costs are those costs incurred by BTV infected farms and associated directly with an outbreak such as loss of farm outputs of milk and meat through mortality and morbidity, farm labour to deal with an outbreak, palliative care costs etc. Other direct costs are incurred by all farms whether infected with BTV or not such as vaccination costs and movement restriction costs. Other direct costs also includes baseline costs such as private and public veterinary surveillance costs that contribute to prevention of a BTV incursion and/or reduce its severity by ensuring rapid detection and response.
