Assessing the economic value of livestock such as cattle, goats, sheep, pigs, chickens and fish can offer information about their financial performance and economic importance at farm, national and global scale. Such information is needed for decision-making surrounding livestock finance, investment and strategic development. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of the key livestock valuation methods and associated data requirements. The study was conducted using a literature review. Five key livestock valuation methods were identified and described: historical costs, net current market value, replacement costs, net present value and cost of production. The findings of this study may be of interest to livestock scientists, veterinarians, policy-makers and other stakeholders who aim to assess the economic value of livestock herds. The Global Burden of Animal Diseases programme relied on the outcomes of this study to identify methods for the estimation of the economic value of livestock at the global scale and for its Ethiopia and Indonesia case studies.
评估牛、山羊、绵羊、猪、鸡和鱼等牲畜的经济价值，可以提供有关其在农场、国家和全球范围内财务表现和经济重要性的信息。这些信息是围绕牲畜融资、投资和战略发展做出决策所必需的。本研究的目的是概述关键的牲畜估值方法和相关的数据要求。本研究使用文献回顾进行。确定并描述了五种关键的牲畜估值方法：历史成本、净现行市场价值、重置成本、净现值和生产成本。本研究的结果可能会引起牲畜科学家、兽医、政策制定者和其他利益相关者的兴趣，他们旨在评估牲畜群的经济价值。动物疾病全球负担项目依赖于本研究的结果，以确定在全球范围内以及在埃塞俄比亚和印度尼西亚案例研究中估算牲畜经济价值的方法。
