Extract

Data concerning a random sample of flocks in Yorkshire and Lancashire were collected, in the form of answers to a questionnaire. Information was received from 88% of the 272 farms approached.

The present survey, a more detailed repetition of one performed in 1952–53, has extended the information already collected and enabled deductions to be made regarding the relationship between disease losses, breed and husbandry methods. The advantages and disadvantages of this type of survey are discussed.
