En la salud animal, a medida que aumento los conocimientos, los problemas para determinar las prioridades en el control e intervención también se incrementan. Con el cambio continuo y los ajustes en los sistemas de producción animal, el rango y las características de los problemas de salud están variando constantemente. Lo anterior ha incremento la demanda por sistemas de información que permitan a los asesores, a los productores, y a las agencias adminsitradoras de recursos a tomar decisiones sobre bases reales. El conocimiento más profundo de la dinámica de los problemas de salud ha evolucionado a la par con el trabajo sobre la salud del hato o rebaño. Se han desarrollado también sistemas de recolección de información evaluando y determinando estrategias de control con enfoques económicos.
El factor limitante de todos estos esfuerzos continúa siendo la recolección y manejo de información, especialmente en los países en vía de desarrollo, sinembargo hay algún progreso sobre este particular en lo relacionado con encuestas y esquemas de seguimiento. En Colombia el Proyecto Colombo/Alemán ICA-GTZ, ha desarrollado esquemas de recolección de información, a la par que progfamas para manejo de datos y modelos analíticos.
Para el futuro, las proyecciones se basan en el desarrollo de programas de salud y producción animal que busquen proteger y mejorar la productividad de la explotación, a la vez que proporcionar las bases para establecer las prioridades de investigación y la formulación de políticas. Lo anterior, concurrirá necesariamente a establecer mejores bases para la asistencia técnica y la reorientación de la educación en los niveles tecnológicos y universitarios.
As knowledge of animal health has expanded problems of determining priorities for control and treatment have increased. As animal production systems has changes the range and character of animal health problems has changed too and continue to do so.
Against this background of change demand has grown for information systems which monitor developments and enable farmers, adviser and funding agencies to draw realistic conclusions. Deeper understanding o f the dymanics of major diseases has evolved un parallel with herd health work. Systems for collecting informaction determining and evaluating control strategies in economic terms and for monitoring progress were devoloped. The limiting factor is still the collection or reliable information particularyin many develo p e d countries. However, same progress has been made in these more difficult circumstances through surveys and monitoring scheemes. In Colombia, The Colombian German project in ICA has demostrated how necesary information can be gathered, and computerised data processing systems and analytical models are now available for generalised use Future plans involve the development o f animal health and productivity profiles to improve productivity on indivudual farms, and too provide a better basis for research project and policy formulation. 'They will also provide a better basis for technical assistance too and for re-orientation of professional and technical education.
