Estimating the economic burden of mastitis and antimicrobial use in a commercial dairy system using the animal health loss envelope framework

2026Open accessUniversity of Zambia

Abstract

The results illustrate how mastitis and treatment-refractory infections contribute significantly to the Animal Health Loss Envelope (AHLE) and provide foundational data for future Productivity-adjusted-life-years (PALYs) estimations and cost-effectiveness analyses of AMR mitigation strategies. Our study demonstrates the practical applicability of the GBADs AHLE framework in real-world dairy systems.
