I’m worried that our facility will look bad compared to other larger facilities. How do I know my data will be kept confidential?
Your original data file will be seen by only two people, Dr. Lluis Montoliu, the President of the ISTT, and Thomas Fielder, who originally proposed the idea of this survey to the ISTT. You have our word that your data will be stripped of all identifying names before being included in the analysis. However, we have to have some way of matching the data to the facility so we can provide the custom analysis. We considered other ways of dealing with this, but having a human view the original files is the best way to ensure the integrity of the data. Remember that, even if your facility is having a difficult time performing at the level you would prefer, perhaps due to changes in personnel or other factors beyond your control, your input is still valuable, and the custom analysis will allow you to see exactly how you measure up. It will also give you an “industry standard” to aim for, so you can tell what improvements are necessary (e.g., is the problem a lack of pups or low egg yields). Q:
