Questionnaire on farm management, biosecurity, health and antibiotic use in livestock farming (METAPRO_D-PhD05-4.1)

OHEJP Project: METAPRO

When taking samples of animal origin, in addition to the information regarding which farm they originate from, and which animals have been sampled, it is imperative that information regarding the conditions in which the animals are housed, and are handled is also obtained. All this information aids the data analysis and allows accurate comparisons to be made between farms. Therefore, we have designed a comprehensive questionnaire in order to collect all the necessary data. The questionnaire is divided into 15 sections and attempts to cover basic farm data as well as data about management, sanitary conditions or antibiotic use. In addition, the questionnaire is provided in both English and Spanish, in order to facilitate the collection of data according to the country where the samples are obtained within the METAPRO project. We consider that this deliverable should be made public in case any member of the One Health EJP consortium or other projects intends to carry out any sampling on farms so that they can use this questionnaire directly or use it as a basis for the creation of one that is closer to their requirements.
