Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Contagious and economically devastating, peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is a viral disease affecting goats and sheep, causing significant losses in livestock productivity and posing a threat to food security and rural livelihoods worldwide.
OBJECTIVE: This study was conducted to assess the status of goat farmer\'s knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) about PPR disease at Sylhet district of Bangladesh.
METHODS: A comprehensive cross-sectional survey, conducted over 11 weeks, targeted 130 goat owners. Following a pilot study with 20 farmers, a set of 17 validated questions on PPR KAP was validated. Data collection was performed through face-to-face interviews by a trained team using KOBO Toolbox, with interpretation of responses based on established thresholds for knowledge (>65%), attitude (>75%) and practice (>70%).
RESULTS: Overall, 67.7% of participants demonstrated a good level of knowledge about PPR disease. Males exhibited 1.42 times higher odds of knowledge compared to females (odds ratio = 1.42). The middle age group (31-45 years) showed significantly higher knowledge levels (83.3%, p < 0.001). Within this age group, positive practice levels were also notably higher (54.8%). Those with a higher secondary education background exhibited the most positive practice levels (>80%). Participants whose additional income came from non-governmental organization employment showed a higher positive practice level (71.4%), 1.46 times higher than other income sources.
CONCLUSIONS: Strategic interventions should prioritize female farmers, educational empowerment and collaboration with non-governmental organizations to bolster livestock health and rural livelihoods in Bangladesh as part of national PPR control strategy to fulfil the goals of Office International des Epizooties/World Organization for Animal Health (OIE/WOAH) and Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) PPR eradication by 2030.

摘要：
背景：具有传染性和经济破坏性，小反刍动物（PPR）是一种影响山羊和绵羊的病毒性疾病，造成牲畜生产力的重大损失，并对全球粮食安全和农村生计构成威胁。
目的：本研究旨在评估山羊农场主的知识状况，孟加拉国Sylhet区对PPR病的态度和实践（KAP）。
方法：全面的横断面调查，进行了11周，针对130只山羊的主人.在对20名农民进行试点研究后，我们验证了关于PPRKAP的一组17个经过验证的问题.数据收集是由训练有素的团队使用KOBO工具箱通过面对面访谈进行的，根据既定的知识阈值(>65%)解释回答，态度(>75%)和实践(>70%)。
结果：总体而言，67.7%的参与者表现出良好的PPR疾病知识水平。与女性相比，男性表现出1.42倍的知识几率（优势比=1.42）。中年组（31-45岁）的知识水平明显较高（83.3%，p<0.001)。在这个年龄段，积极实践水平也明显更高(54.8%)。具有高等教育背景的人表现出最积极的实践水平（>80％）。来自非政府组织就业的额外收入的参与者表现出更高的积极实践水平(71.4%)，比其他收入来源高1.46倍。
结论：战略干预应优先考虑女性农民，教育赋权和与非政府组织合作，以加强孟加拉国的牲畜健康和农村生计，作为国家PPR控制战略的一部分，以实现国际动物卫生组织/世界动物卫生组织（OIE/WOAH）和粮食及农业组织（FAO）到2030年根除PPR的目标。
