3.7 Assessment of available animal health platforms or risk analysis tools
The section regarding the assessment of the available animal health platforms or risk analysis tools was answered by 147 respondents (there were many missing values and data entry errors resulting in deletion of some responses). When asked if they had encountered issues with using different animal health platforms or risk analysis tools due to the fact these were not adaptable to their country’s conditions, 45% said yes and 55% no. Regarding the platforms they most used respondents had to only indicate the ones they used, therefore the total number for the categories most used, intermediate usage and least used differed as some respondents only used one unique animal health/tool platform, and others two or more. In total most used, intermediate usage and least used had 147, 128, and 94 responses respectively. When asked what three animal health information systems they mostly used the WAHIS or WAHID (i.e. the platform of the OIE) was the one mentioned the most (data not shown). Sixty-two used this platform every day whilst 7 responded once a semester (Table 3). The percentage of satisfaction was not similar amongst the 3 groups having median of 75%, 70% and 63.5% for most used, intermediate use and least used respectively (Kruskal-Wallis equality-of-populations rank test; chi-square (2 d.f.; α = 0.05) = 11.54; p-value = 0.0031) ( Figure 12) .
