Southwest New York Dairy, Livestock and Field Crops Program
The USDA's National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) conducts national studies of various livestock sectors. In preparation for the upcoming national sheep study in 2023, we are looking for your input on the most important health issues facing the U.S. sheep industry. Your responses will be used to determine which issue areas should be the focus of the study and be used to identify and prioritize the objectives of the study. The survey will take 10-15 minutes to complete and can be found at this link: https://aphisvs.gov1.qualtrics...
