Abstract
More than 12 years ago, Le Blanc et al (2006) stated that an everbetter understanding of epidemiology and pathophysiology will not in itself reduce the incidence of disease. The ability to translate emerging knowledge into on-farm application and actual prevention of problems requires understanding of the farm as an integrated system, a major component of which is educating and motivating humans to implement well-designed practices. When aiming to improve biosecurity on farm it is important to consider this ‘human’ part of the equation, i.e. the role of the veterinary surgeon and their relationship with the farmer, and several studies have recently provided insights, which are important to consider and guide the direction veterinary surgeons can take to improve biosecurity on farm.
