The food animal practitioner is faced repeatedly with the dilemma of whether to intervene with treatment or to recommend sale of an animal for salvage value. An algorithm is presented that allows a clinician to choose between intervention or sale for salvage value in cases where the economics of the decision are not obvious. The algorithm allows an objective evaluation of the economic factors that are pertinent to such a decision. These factors are the cost of intervention, the salvage value of the animal, and the prognosis for a favorable outcome following intervention. A graphic approach has also been derived which allows rapid interpretation of the algorithm in field situations.
食用动物从业者反复面临着一个两难困境，即是否进行治疗干预，还是建议出售动物以获取残值。本文提出了一种算法，在决策的经济因素不明确的情况下，临床医生可以据此在干预治疗和出售获取残值之间做出选择。该算法能对与此类决策相关的经济因素进行客观评估。这些因素包括干预成本、动物的残值以及干预后获得良好结果的预后情况。还得出了一种图形化方法，便于在实际场景中快速解读该算法。
