We get some unusual requests on Poultry World, but this one from vet student Laura Langstaff certainly grabbed our attention:
Hi,
I am a 4th year vet student at the Royal Veterinary College and for my final year research project I am investigating awareness among commercial producers, vets and backyard chicken keepers of the risk of parasites to poultry flocks. In order to do this I have designed a questionnaire to assess knowledge of parasite treatment and prevention methods. I wondered whether it would please be possible for me to post the link to the commercial producers questionnaire on the FWi poultry platform forum?
Here is the link:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KMNLMQSI would be extremely grateful for your assistance as I hope that ultimately my research will raise awareness of poultry parasites and therefore improve welfare standards.
As an incentive, all commercial producers who fill in the questionnaire will be entered into a prize draw to win five faecal worm egg and coccidian oocyst counts.
Many thanks,
LauraI hope some of our readers may see fit to help Laura with her survey - and let us know if you are a lucky winner in the prize draw!
