Unravelling Belgian Blue cattle farmers’ adoption intention towards diagnostic tools : integrating insights from behavioural economics and socio-cognitive theories
Macrocyclic lactone resistance in Psoroptes ovis mites, causing psoroptic mange, is emerging in beef cattle. Therefore, diagnostic tools that can indicate macrocyclic lactone resistance should be implemented at farms in order to control these parasitic infections and slow down emerging resistance.
