Survey; sheep farmers!

[hannahgoulbourne]

hello, I am currently studying towards my masters in livestock science at Aberystwyth university. As part of my dissertation research I am researching the biosecurity methods used on sheep farms across the uk and how they impact flock health. Therefore I have created a survey for sheep farmers to gather information on this topic, this is a short survey and all information is anonymous. If any sheep farmers could take time to complete this short survey it would be highly appreciated, thank you very much!

I'm not technically a sheep farmer so I won't do your survey but I can comment as a shearing contractor that I go from farm to farm daily for 2 months without biosecurity even being mentioned.

From a personal point of view if I think a farm has scab I'll wash the trailer and change my moccasins after before going to the next place but noone ever asks or knows if I have. But I don't want to be the one to spread scab any further then it is.

Done!

On questions 14 and 19 it would be nice if sellers would own up to rampaging codd/scab/worm resistance at home, but it's unlikely I'm afraid!!!
