Dataset Description & Structure
The dataset collects quantitative and qualitative survey responses from organic, extensive, and small-scale pig and poultry farmers, veterinarians, advisors, and practitioners across European Union member states (including Italy, France, Germany, Denmark, Netherlands, Romania, and Belgium). 
The primary objective of the survey is to analyze real on-farm practices, biosecurity measure implementations, animal health perceptions, disease risk perceptions (e.g., African Swine Fever, Avian Influenza), policy compliance, and self-efficacy/self-esteem psychological constructs among stakeholders. 
Key Survey Sections
1.	Section A — Privacy & Consent: GDPR compliance confirmation. 
2.	Section B — Species Focus: Species managed (Pigs, Poultry, or Both). 
3.	Section C & D — Animal Health & Welfare Perceptions: Ratings on welfare aspects (hunger, comfort, outdoor access, mutilations, human-animal relationship) and biosecurity familiarity. 
4.	Section E — Biosecurity Measures Implementation:
o	Implementation frequency, non-implementation reasons (e.g., cost, time, lack of training, unadapted to farm), and perceived efficiency for 13 specific measures. 
5.	Section F — Disease Outbreak Risks & Policy Support:
o	Outbreak fears (e.g., export ban, stamping out, loss of genetic lines) for African Swine Fever (ASF) and Avian Influenza (AI). 
o	Public support requests, disease occurrence rates, economic impacts (1–7 scale), and efficacy of regional/national health programs. 
6.	Section G — Biosecurity Policy & Trust:
o	Likert scale agreement on biosecurity regulations leading to better long/short-term welfare. 
o	Willingness to report non-compliance and trust level (1–10 scale) in local veterinary authorities, national government, and the EU. 
7.	Section H — Psychological Scales:
o	General Self-Efficacy Scale items (H1). 
o	Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale items (H2). 
8.	Section I — Sociodemographic & Farm Profiles:
o	Job role, animal count, hired labor, commercial vs. native breeds, production system (organic vs. conventional), age, farming experience, education, gender, country, and region.
