Hi all,
In my day job, I'm an academic at the University of Edinburgh vet school, and we are currently running a research project I thought many of you in the forum would be interested in taking part in.
We are looking to gain insight into the knowledge and opinions of stakeholders in the equestrian/equine industry in the UK and Europe on equine genetics via a questionnaire.
This questionnaire examines the current state of knowledge and opinions in Horse Genetics across the UK and European horse industry, as a follow up to a similar study conducted in the USA as an important part of a broader project launched by the Horse Genome Workshop (organized as NIFA-USDA Multi-State Project #S1094). Our Workshop members, committed to providing the most up-to-date equine management information to horsemen and horsewomen, are conducting this study with the goal of developing educational programmes and resources that meet the practical needs of those working with and caring for horses, as well as to better inform future research regarding horse health and management.
This survey specifically is being run by the University of Edinburgh and the University of Florida.
You are being asked to voluntarily take part in a survey, where you will be asked a series of questions which will be divided into five sections: questions about you; a short quiz on genetics; questions about your priorities and interests in genetics; questions about your experience with horse health; and some concluding questions.
You can access the survey here.
We have admin permission to post this survey (thank you!), and the study has been reviewed and approved by the University of Edinburgh Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies Human Ethical Review Committee (URN: HERC_24_083). I'm also happy to answer any questions either here or by email (victoria.lindsay-mcgee@ed.ac.uk).
As a note, my posts in this forum until now have always been in a personal capacity, this is a personal account but I thought you guys might be interested in this work we are doing!
