Cross-sectional surveys conducted in Armenia and the Republic of Moldova collected responses from 387 livestock producers and 113 veterinarians in Armenia, and 373 livestock producers and 100 veterinarians in Moldova. The dataset, authored by Mafalda Pedro Mil-Homens and last updated in May 2026, analyzes how education, knowledge, and risk perceptions influence personal biosecurity practices, specifically the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Use Cases
- Analyze the relationship between formal training and PPE usage based on survey responses.
- Compare biosecurity practices and risk perceptions between livestock producers and veterinarians.
- Identify common risky behaviors, such as feeding viscera to pets, for targeted awareness campaigns.
- Assess the association between self-reported knowledge on zoonotic diseases and hygiene practices.
Strengths
- Survey includes a total of 973 respondents (760 livestock producers and 213 veterinarians).
- Data covers two distinct geographic regions: Armenia and the Republic of Moldova.
- Analysis employs multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) to explore relationships between variables.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Data is provided as a 37.1 KB DOCX file, which is a tiny dataset with limited scope.
