Producer feedback needed for animal health monitoring study
16 November 2017
Goat producers across Australia are invited to participate in an online questionnaire that addresses animal health monitoring, preferred communication methods and information sources.
The questionnaire may take up to 30 minutes to complete.
Researchers from Charles Sturt University, Australian Bureau of Agricultural Resource Economics and Sciences (ABARES) and CSIRO are working on this study as part of a Rural Research and Development for Profit project* aimed at improving surveillance, preparedness and return to trade from emergency animal disease incursions using foot-andmouth disease as a model.
Participants will not be identified in any reports produced and will have the opportunity to go into a prize draw to win a $50 retail gift voucher.
