owner perceptions of medicines use and horse health care.”
The survey is run by scientists at Aberystwyth University as part of the Arwain DGC (Responsible Antimicrobial Use) project. Arwain DGC aims to prevent the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animals and the environment in Wales.
By improving productivity, animal health and welfare through new and innovative technology and ‘good practice’, the goal is to reduce the need to use antimicrobials such as antibiotics.
It is hoped that the survey will bring about a greater understanding of the how Welsh horse owners view medicine usage and aspects of horse health care. Lead researchers are Rebekah Stuart or Alison Bard.
“We hope this study will generate information that will help target future research, support and funding within the Welsh equine sector, as currently very little is known about Welsh horse owners’ views on these topics.”
“Our questions will explore how you view your relationship with your horse or horses, how they receive husbandry and health care and how you interact with your vet and other individuals regarding medicines use.”
