[Payment of the "Niedersachsen epizootic cash" for animal loss by salmonellosis with regard to the structure of cattle farms].
An evaluation of data from the "Niedersächsische Tierseuchenkasse" with reference to various forms of cattle husbandry shows the crucial influence quality of farm management resp. age structure of the stock are having upon the frequency of animal diseases at least as far as the salmonellosis of cattle is concerned. The assessment takes into account the earlier repeatedly identified relationship between occurrence of animal diseases and stock size. The obligations of the "Niedersächsische Tierseuchenkasse" per contributory animal due to losses in fattening calves farms are about three times as high as in "conventional" cattle farms keeping stock of all ages. The "Niedersächsische Tierseuchenkasse" has therefore developed a special premium class for this specific type of farming with a generally higher premium level. Further measures aiming to improve the current situation of cattle salmonellosis are being discussed.
