Initial small survey on the stakeholder’s agreement with some existing definitions of biosecurity

Dear Participant,

Under the new COST Action “Biosecurity Enhanced Through Training Evaluation and Raising Awareness” (BETTER) CA20103, we start an initial small survey on the stakeholder’s agreement with eight existing definitions of biosecurity. These alternative definitions have been extracted from various sources and publications (e.g. Renault et al., 2021; doi: 10.3390/ani12010063).

This initial short survey will facilitate discussions on the optimal definition on livestock biosecurity in the current COST Action BETTER.

The completion of this short survey takes only few minutes.

This survey is entirely voluntary and your data will be kept anonymous.

You may also distribute this survey in your networks.

Thank you very much for your invaluable contribution.

Claude Saegerman and Jarkko Niemi
