NWS intervention cost-benefit analysis, SIT program economics, livestock loss prevention value, treatment cost modeling, and eradication program ROI — USDA APHIS NWS program data.
Select a state to auto-populate livestock value inputs across all SF24-E calculators.
USDA ERS veterinary treatment and livestock management cost benchmarks. Auto-populates treatment cost inputs.
Compare treatment costs against expected mortality losses to find the break-even infestation rate. Run SF24-E.001 and SF24-E.002 first.
Model SF24-E.001
Estimates total economic loss from a NWS outbreak across a livestock operation. Accounts for herd size, species value, case fatality rate, infestation rate, production losses, and market price discounts on survivors.
Model SF24-E.002
Calculates ROI of systematic NWS treatment program versus expected outbreak losses. Determines break-even infestation rate and net benefit per treated animal.
Model SF24-E.003
Estimates total economic impact of a NWS quarantine zone on livestock producers — including movement restriction losses, market access disruption, feed cost escalation, compliance costs, and price depression.
Model SF24-E.004 → EC.4006 Deep-Dive ↗
Calculates benefit-cost ratio of a sterile insect technique program for NWS suppression. Benchmarked against the historic USDA NWS eradication BCR of 8.5:1 (Graham 1985).
Model SF24-E.005
Evaluates ROI of a comprehensive annual NWS herd protection program — wound surveillance labor, topical treatments, veterinary inspections, and supply costs — versus risk-adjusted expected outbreak losses.
Full 5-page detailed report, historic USDA program benchmarks, sensitivity analysis, and 5-year projection. Pre-loaded with USDA APHIS eradication program data.
⚡ Open EC.4006 Deep-Dive →The 1966 US New World Screwworm eradication program achieved a benefit-cost ratio of 8.5:1, generating over $20 billion in cumulative livestock value protection through 2000 (Graham 1985). A re-establishment event in Florida today would affect an estimated $290M+ in livestock assets across the Gulf Coast. These calculators support producer-level economic planning, USDA APHIS program justification, and academic benefit-cost analysis of NWS emergency response programs.
