Bovine Tuberculosis: knowledge assessment of cattle handlers (Paperback)

Knowledge of bovine tuberculosis (bTB) by cattle handlers is of extreme importance to policy makers when considering mitigation. However, to our knowledge, little is known on cattle handlers' knowledge of bTB in Bangladesh. Similarly, such knowledge is uncommon within and outside Bangladesh. The current study investigates the bTB knowledge of cattle owners in Godagari Upazila, Rajshahi. A cross sectional study was designed and data was gathered based on stratified random sampling technique. The raw data was collected through 500 cattle handlers subjected to an interviewer administered questionnaire. The study has revealed the levels of knowledge among cattle handlers about bovine tuberculosis.
