So far evaluation of training initiatives for dairy farm employees has been limited to the reaction and learning level. Effect of training on dairy farm employee's behavior has not been studied yet. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of online training to change employee behavior toward best practice routines. An interactive training course related to udder health was developed in 5 modules in Spanish and English: 1) Collecting an aseptic milk sample, 2) Administering intramammary treatment, 3) Deciding on saleable milk, 4) Treating a cow at dry off with antibiotics, and 5) Administering teat sealants. Participants navigated the modules at their own pace or watched a narrated video. Employees were assessed performing 2 procedures related to dry cow treatment (i.e., treating a cow at dry off with antibiotics, administering internal teat sealant) by using an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). If possible, all employees were scored performing the procedure on 2 cows before and within 2 to 3 weeks after the training was applied. |
