Investigating Farm Fragmentation as a Risk Factor for Bovine Tuberculosis in Cattle Herds: A Matched Case-control Study from Northern Ireland

Опубликована: Янв. 21, 2022

Bovine tuberculosis (bTB) remains a challenging endemic pathogen of cattle in many parts the globe. Spatial clustering Mycoacterium bovis molecular types suggests that local factors are primary drivers spread. Northern Ireland’s agricultural landscape is comprised highly fragmented farms, distributed across spatially discontinuous land parcels, and these farming structures thought to facilitate localised We conducted matched case control study quantify risks bTB breakdown with farm area, fragmentation, fragment dispersal, contact neighbouring herds. Whilst our results show small but significant increases risk associated each herds, relationships were strongly confounded number contiguous neighbours bTB. Our key finding was every infected neighbour led an increase odds by 40% 50%, farms almost twice as likely have positive compared non-fragmented farms. suggest after controlling for herd size, type, spatial temporal factors, fragmentation increasingly exposes herds infection originating from first order neighbours. Given NI’s particularly landscape, reliance on short-term leases, data supports hypothesis between-herd spread important component disease system.

Research goals achieved employing contingent valuation, logistic regression linear methods. Data collection refer on-farm survey covering 55 tenants, provided database 230 lease contracts.Among analysis findings, worthiest note are: a) farmer's neighbouring for sale is more appreciated than sale; b) favour growth size not only securing plots with labour intensive crops but also guaranteeing adequate economies scale; c) percentage area total factor induces tenants evaluate under contract; d) mostly increases relation dimension machinery fleet, presence interest land, while investments made it positively
