Farmers: 12:30–2:30pm
Vets: 3:00–5:00pm
We have an opportunity for a small number of beef cattle farmers whose cattle are unhoused for at least six months of the year to participate in a focus group on biosecurity. £50 voucher and lunch included for all farmers that can attend.
BIOFRAME is a research project led in the UK by the University of Nottingham and Innovation for Agriculture. The project aims to improve how biosecurity guidance is developed and delivered for animal farmers in non-intensive sectors, such as extensive grazing and low-input systems.
We are working with farmers and vets to understand their experiences of different types of biosecurity guidance and to identify what would work better in their farming context.
BIOFRAME is a European-supported initiative involving partners across Europe, with UK funding provided by Defra. Using co-creation methods, the project will develop new recommendations for biosecurity guidance based on input from farmers and vets. These recommendations will then be tested by farmers in the UK and across Europe.
This event, hosted at Cirencester Livestock Market (Voyce Pullin), will bring together non-intensive beef farmers and vets for two small-group workshop sessions to discuss their experiences of, and views on, existing biosecurity guidance. Each session will last up to two hours, with refreshments provided. Farmers will also be able to claim a £50 voucher in recognition of their time.
There will also be opportunities for some farmers to take part in the later stages of the project, including helping to design and test new recommendations.
