Researchers Need Producer Input on Antibiotic Use

Farm Journal logo

Demand for poultry and livestock raised without the use of antibiotics is growing in the U.S., but there are few data available regarding the association between raised without antibiotic claims and animal health and welfare. Our team has developed a survey to assess opinions and experiences of raised without antibiotics programs in animal agriculture and their relationship to animal health and welfare.

The survey is intended for individuals who are actively involved with commercial poultry and livestock production systems, regardless of whether or not you currently are involved in a raised without antibiotics program/system,

The survey is completely anonymous and confidential; no data about individual participants are being recorded. We would appreciate your participation in this 15 minute survey.

To access the survey, please use the following link: https://mindwalk.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3F8D38IZhQIgiAB

 

Should you have any questions or comments, please contact Dr. Randy Singer (rsinger@mindwalkconsultinggroup.com).

Funding for this project is being provided by the Animal Agriculture Alliance.  The project is being conducted independently by the investigators, who attest that the opinions and work contained herein accurately reflect their opinions and not necessarily those of the Animal Agriculture Alliance.
