摘要

Biosecurity measures include management practices that are vital for protecting farms from the introduction of animal diseases and for increasing farm productivity. This study aimed to evaluate livestock farmers’ knowledge and understanding of biosecurity in Bangladesh, assess their adoption of biosecurity practices, and investigate the influence of biosecurity training on their implementation. A cross-sectional survey was conducted with 801 livestock farmers in Bangladesh from September 2025 to February 2026. Univariate and multivariate regression were performed to identify factors affecting knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs), and propensity score matching (PSM) was applied to estimate the impact of animal husbandry training on farmer outcomes. Among the participants, 74.7% were male, 30.6% had primary education, and 68.2% had no formal training in animal husbandry. According to the scoring, 29.5% of the participants reported good knowledge, 40.7% had good attitudes, and 24.5% followed good biosecurity practices. Logistic regression revealed that age, residence, education, experience, and animal husbandry training significantly influenced KAP. PSM revealed that animal husbandry training significantly improved farmers’ KAP in livestock management. This study highlights that KAPs regarding biosecurity in Bangladesh are relatively low, underscoring the need for educational programs, awareness campaigns, and community-based initiatives to encourage adoption of farm-level biosecurity.
