Farm size and biosecurity measures associated with Strongylus vulgaris infection in horses
https://doi.org/10.5878/jcmx-cm10
The dataset contains raw data from a survey study aimed at investigating the incidence and risk factors associated with large bloodworm infection. The data also contains a file with the zip code of where the respondent lives and the GPS coordinates of the zip code. The postal code data has been separated from the other data and has been processed separately from the survey's raw data.

Description of the mode of collection:
Undersökningen genomfördes med hjälp av en internetbaserad plattform som heter Netigate. Undersökningen distribuerades via specifika hästinriktade webbplatser och sociala mediekanaler mellan 21 maj och 1 september 2022. Målgruppen bestod av ägare eller förvaltare av svenska hästlokaler. Frågeformuläret bestod i första hand av slutna frågor med förutbestämda svarsval, med några frågor kopplade av grenlogik. Före distributionen utvärderades en testversion av frågeformuläret av individer med professionell hästbakgrund.
