| description | The study examined the awareness level of poultry farmers on biosafety practices on infectious diseases in Kano state, Nigeria. A two stage sampling procedure was used on 166 respondents with structured questionnaire. Majority were males (99.4%), married (73.5%), with No-formal education (30.7%). Average: age of 45.0 year, monthly income of N199, 894.54k, household size of 10 persons and flock size is 500.14 birds. Greater proportion claimed no extension contact (71.7%). Main source of awareness is Mass Media (48.8%). Based on awareness of biosafety practices: in Cleaning only low pressure washer (=1.602) and hand washing after toileting (=1.789) were known, in Disinfection only covering feeds in the store (=1.560), Manure management (=1.608) and removal of dead carcasses (=1.530) were known while in Segregation & Traffic Control all subcomponents were known except; banning keeping of birds at home (=1.114), exclusion of rodents & wild birds (=1.054) and presence of Buffer Areas around the farm (=1.000). Majority claimed very low level of awareness (81.9%). Major constraints were complexity of the biosecurity, inadequate capital (93.4%) and high cost of the biosafety practices (83.1%). Awareness level should be improved through farmers’ group and more extension services involvement. |
