ABSTRACT
The losses ascribable to transmissible gastroenteritis of pigs were financially determined at eight sites with 133-1269 large animal units, as converted to pig stocks. The overall losses were divided as follows: mortality and confiscation - 42.38%, weight gain reduction - 30.50%, extra costs of the enterprise - 13.11%, emergency slaughters 7.79%, and losses in progenies 6.22%. The coefficient of loss per one diseased animal was 42.63 to 114.65 crowns. Furthermore, the level of the assumed losses due to mortality and morbidity prevented by veterinary measures was also calculated. The calculation of the effectiveness of these measures showed that 3.14--60.01 crowns are saved per 1 crown spent. The total number of losses, loss coefficient per one diseased animal, the level of prevented loss, and the money saved per 1 crown were calculated from the over-all societal viewpoint and from the viewpoint of the agricultural enterprise after the detraction of the indemnities from the State Insurance Company.
