The increasing occurrences of the disease bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE or 'mad cow' disease) and the foot and mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in Europe have had a significant impact on the region's livestock industries, and on the beef industry in particular. In this article, the impacts of both BSE and FMD on European meat and livestock markets and the implications for third markets, such as Australia, are examined. Markets for beef, sheep meat, pig meat and poultry meat are analysed. For the beef market, the AGLINK model was used to assess the effects of the fall in demand or beef on production, trade and stocks. The model results were compared with the baseline projections prepared for ABARE's Outlook conference at the beginning of March (Gleeson and Brittle 2001), which did not include the impact of these recent disease outbreaks.
