Examining medical disorders and diseases of animals as economic problems, the field of animal health economics primarily concentrates on the livestock that drive the agricultural industry. Although the subject lies outside of the core purview of veterinary science, animal health economics has become an increasingly important factor for animal health issues on a variety of levels.
Animal health economics has proven particularly useful for the allocation of resources to combat disease outbreaks, to prevent diseases, and to minimize the impact of diseases. Recent topics in the field of animal health economics include the lack of national attention for animal disease control in the United States.
