Stakeholder acceptance
Research Question
- Respond to stakeholders needs for sustainable and safe management of outbreaks
- Acceptance of the general public towards outbreak control measures and vaccination policy
- What methods prevent stigmatization and have ease of adoption?
Research Gaps and Challenges
- Sustainable management of outbreaks and disposal of carcasses
- Acceptability of depopulation for the public, consumers and small flock owners
- Lack of public science literacy
- Lack of communication between various stakeholders on the way forward best methods
- Local suitability/acceptability of the standard solution in different geographical areas
- Safe management of outbreaks for the operators
- Stigma within the animal owners that the sick birds must be sold immediately and not reporting to local authorities
Solution Routes
- Alternative methods to killing in outbreaks management
- Strategic use of stamping out
- Harmonise carcass disposal with ‘normal’ activities
- Bring in local knowledge and acceptable practices to aid acceptance
- Establish compensation levels for farmers
- Establish consumer acceptance
