Overview

Descriptive study measures zoonotic knowledge and practices in slaughterhouses in Senegal, suggesting awareness improvements are needed.

  • Over 90% of slaughterers recognized at least one priority zoonosis, highlighting awareness gaps in the workforce.
  • Only 40.4% of slaughterhouse professionals protect their workplace, which raises concerns regarding safety practices.
  • A descriptive cross-sectional study gathered data on slaughterhouse staff from Dakar and Kaolack, targeting zoonotic risks and knowledge.
  • Improving awareness of zoonosis prevention measures is crucial for enhancing public health in Senegal's livestock sector.
