Swine Owner Survey on Transboundary Animal Disease Prevention

The University of Vermont is inviting livestock farmers to a national-level survey on transboundary animal disease prevention, to gather behavioral attitudes that drive the adoption of biosecurity at the farm level.

The livestock industry is vulnerable to threats of an infectious outbreak of diseases, such as the foot-and-mouth disease and the African swine fever. These diseases are of a national and international threat to animal farming and have dire economic consequences. Decision making and human behavior at the farm level are at the heart of disease prevention, management and control.

 

The survey takes around 15 minutes to complete and to compensate for your time on a successful completion of the survey, you will be entered into a draw for a chance to win a $20 Amazon gift card

 

Your participation is important!
