The problem concerning the losses originating from footeand- 
mouth disease has been studied by researchers such as Aele 
Skomorohov, 19243 GF. Bondarenko, 1959; MeIeGushchin,19613 AeS- 
Chernov, 1962; FeHeAhmatzyanov, 1964; 0.0. Sviridov, YaeF.Gubsky, 
VeMelutov, 19653; GeFeBondarenko, SR. pidovets,, 1970 et al. 
According to data furnished by these authors the economic losses 
ene to foot-anc-moutn disease consist of the death and forced 
slaughter of animals, reduced productivity end live weight, 
amaller number of issues born, as well as quaarantine expenses. 
The magnitude of the loss during the disease depends on the 
course of the diasease, animal keeping conditions, the level of 
organization and other measures. Most of the losses occurring 
during a foot-and-moutn disease epizootic comprise reduced product- 
ivity and live weight loss. Based on materials about the magnitude 
of losses and expenses accurring duirng the fight against footGand 
mouth disease in periods of epizootics, MeI.-Guschin (1961) has 
determined the economic effectiveness of veterinary-cum-sanitary 
measureSe 
However, animals do fall victim to footeand=-mouth disease 
not only during epizootics, but also inter-epizootic periods. 
When in individual districts and regions the disease might assume 
considerable proportions and cause substantial losses to the farms. 
Even on occasional case of foot-and-mouth disease emerges due to 
the fact that the virus is all the time circulating in the natureée 
Thus, the fight against foot-and-mouth disease in this period is 
of great anti-epizootic importance. In this regard need arises to 
give economic basis for expenses required for the organization of
