Animal ID & Traceability
Conducting a benefit‐cost analysis of NAIS adoption in the equine
industry was a significant challenge. Even published data on horse
population in the United States have a wide range of estimates including
from around five million to more than nine million horses. Collecting
accurate equine data is a challenge because a considerable number of
horse owners are not included in USDA surveys as many are not farm
operations. As a result, we rely heavily on surveys and private industry
data sources for information on equine population, animal movement
and comingling activities, and industry characteristics in our analysis.
Because of substantial data limitations in the equine industry analysis,
unlike our analysis for livestock and poultry species, we did not estimate
separate costs for varying NAIS adoption rates. Our estimates are for
100% of equine owners to adopt each NAIS practice. Rough estimates of
varying adoption rates could be made by taking an adoption percentage
times the 100% adoption cost.
Direct net present value of cost of 100% adoption of premises
registration by equine owners is estimated at $2.7 million annually;
adoption of individual horse micro‐chipping is $34.5 million; and animal
tracing is $38.7 million. The total annual estimated net present value of
direct cost of 100% adoption of all three NAIS activities is $75.9 million
per year.
Benefits of NAIS adoption in the equine industry are potentially
numerous. However, the largest benefits appear to be from animal
health surveillance, potential endemic disease eradication, and export
market access in the event of a major equine disease outbreak. Annual
costs of Equine Infectious Anemia (EIA) testing alone are $57.5 million
(75% of total NAIS adoption costs). The equine export market represents
some $460 million annually. Any major equine disease outbreak would
adversely affect the equine export market. Though our analysis is unable
to definitively conclude whether the benefits of full NAIS adoption in the
equine industry exceed adoption costs, if adoption were able to eradicate
diseases such as EIA and prevent major export market losses, benefits
would quickly exceed adoption costs.
