Coaching poultry farmers towards improved biosecurity 🐓
The introduction and spread of infections can be better avoided with good hygiene practices. Farmers’ understanding of biosecurity may not be constant and could vary over time. Low compliance is often linked to a lack of knowledge and any decision-making is influenced by a combination of farmer’s prior experiences, goals, financial capability and demographic factors (e.g., age, gender, education, etc.). Various supporting measures can be used for achieving better biosecurity.
This study examined the impact of coaching poultry farmers in the area of biosecurity.
