| Abstract: | Two surveys and a study were accomplished. Both surveys incorporated the use of a pilot study. The main objectives of the first surveys were to establish the extent of antibiotic abuse undertaken by local farmers, the reasons behind these abuses and in turn what should be done in order to decrease antibiotic abuse to a minimum. It involved the personal interview of 200 Gozitan farmers. It was decided to carry out this survey by an interview rather than by a postal questionnaire for two reasons. First, the majority of farmers are illiterate and they have very poor pharmacological knowledge. Secondly, interviews allow greater flexibility for probing and observational data. The questions utilised were set up in simple terms to be understood by everyone. |
