Abstract: The emergence and spread of zoonotic disease in poultry farms have a potential implication for public health. To control these zoonotic diseases, it is important to adopt proper vaccination schedule, follow isolation and quarantine practices and apply the necessary biosecurity measures. Further the practice of regular deworming and minimizing the contact with other animals can also prove to be beneficial in reducing the risk of zoonotic diseases. A total of 21 poultry farmers were interviewed in the study area. A set of questions were asked from the poultry farm personnel which included the risk of zoonotic diseases at their farm, their antibiotic usage practices, and their disease management.
