Overview

Cross-sectional survey assesses AMR knowledge and biosecurity among poultry and aquaculture farmers in Nigeria, indicating education gaps.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate antimicrobial resistance (AMR) awareness, knowledge, and practices among poultry and aquaculture farmers in Nigeria.
  • Cross-sectional KAP survey conducted in January 2025 among 183 respondents across four Nigerian states: Anambra, Akwa Ibom, Kano, and Kwara.
  • Data collected through structured face-to-face interviews and analyzed using Chi-square tests, Spearman’s correlation, and multivariable logistic regression.
  • Focus on evaluating disease incidence, antimicrobial use, and biosecurity practices.
  • High disease incidence reported at 84.15%, mainly due to bacterial infections (39.61%, n=154).
  • Antimicrobial use was prevalent at 92.90%, with 87.06% using it for treatment and 22.35% self-prescribing.
  • AMR awareness was noted in 71.58% of respondents, significantly influenced by education level (χ²=57.16, p<0.001) and negatively correlated with frequency of use (ρ=−0.279, p<0.001).
