For the cross-sectional study that was conducted between September and December 2011, 500 herds were randomly selected from all dairy farms in the Netherlands with a conventional (nonorganic) farming system. Conventional and organic herds were distinguished based on information of the identification and registration system . All 500 farmers were contacted by mail with the request to participate in our study and the first 100 farmers that responded and agreed were included.
During the first herd visit, one slurry sample was collected by using transport swabs with Amies medium . When a floor scraper was present on the farm, the scraper was swabbed at different places. When no floor scraper was present, manure samples from 5 randomly selected places on the slatted floor were thoroughly mixed and sampled by using the transport swab.
