The implementation of management activities depends on both the attitude of the people performing the work and their understanding of why the work should be performed. In the context of animal husbandry, the implementation of such practices is crucial for the functionality of biosecurity. Therefore, it is important to know how farmers perceive biosecurity as a whole. An anonymous online survey was conducted among German farmers. In addition to general data about their farm, information about their existing concept of biosecurity, as well as about the assessment of possible introduction routes for animal diseases into the farm with regard to their likelihood, was gathered. Furthermore, information on measures to protect their farm against disease introduction were retrieved. Analysis showed that in general, farmers were aware of the importance of biosecurity and consequently had concepts of biosecurity on their farms. However, awareness about dangerous introduction routes for animal diseases into a farm was associated with a lack of knowledge of how to improve the measures in these areas. The role of the veterinarian in the context of biosecurity was highlighted and further problematic areas were indicated. Overall, the high level of commitment from farmers indicated a good implementation of daily practices.
管理活动的实施既取决于从事这项工作的人员的态度，也取决于他们对为何要开展这项工作的理解。在畜牧业背景下，此类做法的实施对于生物安全的功能至关重要。因此，了解农民如何整体看待生物安全非常重要。对德国农民进行了一项匿名在线调查。除了收集有关他们农场的一般数据外，还收集了有关他们现有的生物安全概念，以及关于动物疾病传入农场的可能途径及其可能性评估的信息。此外，还获取了有关保护其农场免受疾病传入的措施的信息。分析表明，总体而言，农民意识到生物安全的重要性，因此他们的农场有生物安全概念。然而，对动物疾病传入农场的危险途径的认识与缺乏如何改进这些领域措施的知识有关。兽医在生物安全背景下的作用得到了凸显，并指出了其他存在问题的领域。总体而言，农民的高度投入表明日常做法得到了良好实施。
