Survey Invitation - Use of Blood Products in Farm Animals

‼️Are you a large or mixed animal vet in the US? Do you perform blood or plasma transfusions at your practice? If so, please participate in our survey via this link: https://forms.gle/5vMG5bbyyz6trEgRA ‼️🐪🐑🐄🐖

We are conducting a nationwide study surveying the use of blood products in farm animal species, including cattle, small ruminants, camelids, and pigs. This study aims to describe the protocols and techniques used for collecting, storing, and administering these blood products in both private practice and academic settings. The summarized findings of this study will be made publicly available and help identify future areas of research.

This survey consists of multiple-choice and short-answer questions and takes ≤15 minutes to complete. Please note that all responses are anonymous, and no personal identifiers are collected, except for the state you practice in.

Please feel free to forward this and the link (https://forms.gle/5vMG5bbyyz6trEgRA) to any mixed or large animal colleagues within the US that may be interested!

This study has been approved by the NC State Institutional Review Board. For questions about the survey or the research study, please contact Cileah Kretsch-York (cmkretsc@ncsu.edu) or Lisa Gamsjäger (lgamsja@ncsu.edu).
