Help Required - Survey

23rd May 2022

I am a PhD student studying at the University of Liverpool, with the Institute of Infection, Veterinary and Ecological Sciences (IVES) supervised by Dr John Graham-Brown.  My project focuses on parasitic infections of grazing cattle and is funded by the UK’s Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).  We are currently conducting a survey on parasitic disease control on UK grazing cattle farms.  We aim to investigate the prevalence of parasitic disease in grazing cattle and current control methods used on farms.  This survey, aimed at UK grazing cattle farmers, is anonymous and will take approximately 20 minutes.  Participants who complete it will have a chance of winning an iPad, and/or a 12-month subscription to the NADIS online parasite control planner. 

The survey will run until the 27th of May 2022.  

We therefore request your help with the Ayrshires Cattle Society of Great Britain and Ireland in disseminating our questionnaire to farmers across the UK by sharing the following link to our questionnaire on your website and as part of your routine correspondence with your farming clients/members.  Below is a link to the survey:

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Yours sincerely,
