The University of Vermont is inviting livestock farmers to participate in a national-level survey on transboundary animal disease prevention. The survey will 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. 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. To compensate for your time, you will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a $20 Amazon gift card upon successful completion of the survey.
