Response from 60-farm owners was analyzed to assess the economic impacts of foot and mouth disease. Data were
recorded through personal interview methods during 2006-07 from small farmers across the villages of Pune region. The
loss in terms of reduced revenues and cost as extra resources used for treatment were quantified and aggregated. The
estimated production loss to the tune of Rs. 3184.00 in crossbreeds cows and Rs. 3062.50 in buffaloes, whose share was
74.31 and 81.69 per cent, respectively. The major loss component was reduction in milk yield, accounted Rs. 894.60 and
Rs.510.00, represents 20.88 and 13.60 per cent of the total loss in crossbred cows and buffaloes, respectively. The cost of
treatment was worked out to be Rs. 1313.80 in crossbred cows and Rs. 645.63 in buffaloes. The cost of medicine alone had
constituted around 50 percent of total cost component, reflecting a tune of Rs. 675.60 in crossbred and Rs. 281.25 in
buffaloes. The expenses were worked out to be Rs. 5598.80 in crossbred and Rs. 4394.38 in buffaloes per animal, which
shows the expenses due to the disease, was comparatively higher in the crossbred cows. Movement of animals was
ascertained to be the reason for spread of this disease in 80 per cent farm perception
