This research will focus on the human factors that influence the management of diseases in domestic livestock. Specifically, it will analyse how and why livestock farmers make their decisions (usually in collaboration with advisors and in response to government regulation), how this affects disease control and, more widely, farm productivity and competitiveness, acceptance of agricultural innovation, and adoption of new technologies. Work will focus on bovine tuberculosis (bTB) and the opportunities and obstacles faced by government and farm advisors in communicating risk and encouraging change. This is an important case study: the incidence of bTB in England and Wales has been rising since the mid-1980s, the area in which bTB is considered 'endemic' has gradually expanded, and the cost of dealing with bTB is considerable to both taxpayers and livestock farmers. Further, bTB is a complex and highly politicised disease, making it important to explore social as well as scientific factors that influence the spread of disease and decisions regarding its management. The research will examine existing evidence of the opportunities and obstacles faced by government, advisors and farmers; identify and study successful examples of good communication of effective disease management practices; examine in detail the chain and methods of communication; and present the findings to government and the farming industry. The results will identify effective communication methods and disease management approaches that can be implemented in government policy and more successfully accessed and adopted by farmers.

这项研究将侧重于影响家畜疾病管理的人为因素。具体而言，它将分析畜牧业农民如何以及为什么做出决定（通常与顾问合作并响应政府法规），这如何影响疾病控制，以及更广泛地影响农场生产力和竞争力，接受农业创新和采用新技术。工作重点将放在牛结核病（bTB）以及政府和农场顾问在沟通风险和鼓励变革方面面临的机会和障碍。这是一个重要的案例研究：自20世纪80年代中期以来，英格兰和威尔士的bTB发病率一直在上升，bTB被认为是“地方病”的地区逐渐扩大，处理bTB的成本对纳税人和畜牧业者来说都是相当大的。此外，bTB是一种复杂且高度政治化的疾病，因此探索影响疾病传播及其管理决策的社会和科学因素非常重要。该研究将审查政府、顾问和农民面临的机会和障碍的现有证据;确定和研究有效疾病管理做法的良好沟通的成功例子;详细审查沟通链和方法;并将调查结果提交给政府和农业部门。结果将确定有效的沟通方法和疾病管理方法，可以在政府政策中实施，并更成功地获得和农民采用。
