Summary. In the current economy situation, the business viability is determined by its profitability. So, diseases on poultry farms are essential disruption of the production process, leading to a shortfall in direct losses and possible gains. These indicators include waste birds nonproductive disposals shortfall and weight loss, etc. In total these costs are significantly increase production costs and reduce profit. In this regard, we evaluated the effectiveness of veterinary measures on poultry farm in the prevention of infectious diseases and suggestions to improve their efficiency. Evaluating the effectiveness held by conventional methods. Costeffectiveness of preventive vaccination defined as the ratio of economic benefit to the cost of hosting this vaccination. Calculations were based on data obtained from experimental prophylactic treatment of livestock vaccine Vectormune® FP MG considering historical data, the incidence of poultry mycoplasmosis. The results showed the cost-effectiveness of the vaccine Vectormune® FP MG as a prophylactic against smallpox and poultry mycoplasmosis. Vaccination has enabled reduction of the incidence and improved the efficiency of veterinary measures, which resulted in a significant economic effect. Increased safety and productivity of poultry products increases profitability by 12.38 % compared with the conventional scheme of immunization.

Key words: vaccination, chicken pox, mycoplasmosis, vaccine Vectormune ® FP MG, economic efficiency.
