	<span style=\"FONT-FAMILY: ; FONT-SIZE: 10pt\" ?=\"\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">In order to reduce the risks for the spread of disease in cattle movements, we investigated China¡¯s cattle breeding and movement pattern, </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">analyzed risk factors of disease infection caused </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">by long-distance movement, explored the relevant risk management measures and conjectured the direction of cattle movement based on the regional distribution of cattle inventory and beef price. We also constructed a market value chain in live cattle movements and qualitatively analyzed the risks for unapparent infection in the process of movement. Meanwhile, we put forward a long-term policy of reducing the risks for unapparent infection and animal health supervision measures.</span></span>
