Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relative economic merits at the herd level of various anaplasmosis control programs for beef cattle in Oklahoma. Economic decision analysis techniques will be used to compare three basic alternative strategies: 1) no control program; 2) medication during vector season; 3) vaccination.
