Description
Anna Schulze Walgern and co-authors present a 2023 case study of farmers' attitudes toward preventing rodents on livestock farms in one German municipality. Rodents threaten animal health, feed stores, and the wider one-health balance between people, animals, and environment. A pilot project paired farmers with a pest controller to raise prevention.
The study began in 2019 on twenty-four farms with a survey of traits thought to shape prevention potential. After a year and a half, an outside expert scored each farm's conditions on site. Linking the survey traits to the expert scores shows which farm features and attitudes mark where prevention can most improve.
