Manual / guidePC-FIAP VERSION 2.00 FOR EXCEL - USER MANUAL 1997
Also available in:
No results found.FIAP is a Forest Investment Appraisal Package. It calculates the economic performance of forestry plantations according to your selection of species, prices, costs and other factors. It is designed for the evaluation of a single coupe which by definition within the package must have a single felling year. This User Guide tells you what you need to know to run FIAP. This version of FIAP (PC-FIAP) is designed to run on a personal computer using standard spreadsheet software, in this case Excel v .5.Oc for Windows. Although it uses Excel as a base arid is similar in layout, the package is a template and cannot be saved over or modified by mistake. PC-FIAP is customised for forest managers, but it uses ordinary spreadsheet conventions. If you are not familiar with spreadsheets, it may be wise to read the introductory chapters of the User Guide for Excel v.5.Oc for Windows, although a few notes on spreadsheets are included in this FIAP User Guide. Wide flexibility is offered within FIAP. You can work with up to 20 productive crop components at once, with up to eight different price-size curves, and carry out What-If? analysis to find how results are affected by altering any of the costs, prices or conditions you have selected. You can include miscellaneous income and grants, and you can view results as graphs or tables. Because FIAP runs under Windows, you can run other Windows applications at the same time, and these may be able to interact with FIAP. For example, specialist data can be prepared in another spreadsheet or database for use in FIAP, or FIAP results can be linked to reports in other applications such as word-processors. To make use of such facilities, or to find out about computer basics such as files and directories or how to use a mouse, refer to the appropriate manuals or on-line help systems, including those for Excel v.5.Oc for Windows. -

No results found.Animal diseases, especially Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs), affect animal productivity, human welfare, and the economy.

Understanding these costs helps prioritize resources and evaluate control strategies. The OutCosT tool is designed to assess the direct costs of avian diseases, such as avian influenza and Newcastle disease, though it doesn’t account for indirect costs like global trade or human health. This manual guides users on how to use OutCosT to evaluate epidemic costs and control measures. -
Manual / guideOUTbreak COSting Tool for Pig Diseases (OutCosT-Pig) – Instructions for Users
The Cost of Pig Diseases
2024Also available in:
No results found.Animal diseases affect not only animal productivity and welfare, but also human welfare and economy. Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs) can have a significant economic impact at farm, regional and national levels. The costs of TADs are usually supported by government veterinary services, but there are also costs to industry and small producers. The economic impact of an epidemic varies considerably between regions and countries, depending on the disease, the number of affected premises when the disease is first diagnosed, the measures taken to control or eradicate the outbreak, and the structure of the livestock industry. Knowing the costs of disease outbreaks is essential to prioritize the allocation of resources, improve resource management and provide a basis for planning future interventions. It can also guide the evaluation of control strategies in terms of cost and impact, and help to increase administrative transparency and public confidence. The objective of this manual is to help OutCosT users understand and use the tool to evaluate the direct costs of an epidemic (real or scenario) and the control measures applied in a country. OutCosT does not consider indirect costs related to global trade, long-term effects, or human health and welfare.
