Özet

The main obstacle in assessing the. nancial impact of foot-and-mouth disease in Turkey is unavailability of reliable data. Considering this issue, this study aimed at using a Delphi Expert Opinion Survey (DEOS) method to obtain data required for economic analysis of FMD in Turkey. This study concluded that although there were problems in obtaining some information from the experts, in general the Delphi technique is a promising way of obtaining animal health data, which is otherwise missing and/or not regularly recorded in developing countries.
