  /AB  ABSTRACT: A new application of an optimization tool, dynamic programming 
      (DP), is described to model the economics of animal health control 
      programs. To demonstrate the value of this technique, a model is applied 
      to determine optimal net benefits of controlling East Coast fever (ECF) 
      in Malawi Zebu cattle in the Lilongwe plateau. The objective function was 
      the present value of net benefits due to treatment, defined as mortality 
      savings minus treatment costs. Mortality savings were based on decreased 
      mortality from ECF following treatment. Model constraints included herd 
      size, animal (herd) nutritional requirements, and program budget. 
      Treatments options were tank dipping in acaricide, and vaccination. 
      Secondary data from a dipping trial of 1800 Malawi Zebu cattle conducted 
      from 1991 to 1994 were used to determine probabilities of mortality. 
      Total optimal net benefits of long-term treatment (25 years, i=10%) from 
      vaccination (Malawi Kwacha (MK) 21069) exceeded benefits for treatment 
      with chlorfenvinphos acaricide (MK15 203).
