Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to both animal and human health, particularly within animal agriculture. As a producer, your role in managing animal health is vital in combating the spread of AMR. This survey is part of a broader effort to understand the current practices, knowledge, and perceptions related to antimicrobial use in sheep and goats specifically.

The goal of this survey is to gather information from producers, owners and veterinarians on how antimicrobials are used and how AMR is understood and managed. Your responses will help inform solutions for improving the health and well-being of sheep and goats while reducing the risk of AMR in a manner that is both economical and sustainable for the future. Participation in this survey is entirely voluntary, and your responses will remain confidential. The data gathered from this survey will be strictly for improving the health and wellbeing of sheep and goats as well as public health through development of relevant educational content for addressing the problem of AMR in sheep and goat farming.. This survey was reviewed and approved by the Virginia Tech Institutional Review Board (IRB) under protocol Number: 22-264.
