The University of Vermont invites livestock producers to participate in a national survey on the prevention of transboundary animal diseases. The survey will collect the behavioral attitudes that lead to the adoption of biosecurity at the farm level. The livestock industry is vulnerable to threats from infectious disease outbreaks. Decision-making and human behavior at the farm level are at the heart of disease prevention, management and control. The survey takes approximately 15 minutes to complete. To make up for your time, you’ll be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a $20 Amazon gift card after you pass the survey.
