In the wake of the recent foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) outbreak in the United Kingdom, researchers at the Center for Animal Disease Modeling and Surveillance (CADMS) at the University of California Davis are calling upon livestock producers to participate in an online survey. The goal of the survey is to collect information for a computer simulation model that will help predict how FMD would spread in the United States and identify the best control strategies for containment.

The online survey can be found at http://www.fmdsurvey.com. CADMS guarantees that all the information will be kept confidential and will only be used for modeling purposes.
