埃塞俄比亚广泛实行田园和农牧农业,饲养的主要牲畜是牛,山羊,绵羊,家禽,还有骆驼.畜牧业面临着复杂的挑战,包括训练有素和熟练的动物卫生专业人员的供应有限。这项研究的目的是确定和优先考虑培训领域,目的是提供证据来指导提高技能的策略,delivery,以及埃塞俄比亚各地兽医服务的治理。使用Qualtrics平台开发了一项横断面调查,并以电子方式对埃塞俄比亚的兽医专业人员进行了管理。收集了包括人口统计在内的选定参数的数据,具有经济意义的疾病,诊断,疾病预防,生物安全,疾病控制,治疗,流行病学,一个健康,疾病报告,以及参与者对培训的看法。在MicrosoftExcel中下载了调查数据,并进行了描述性统计。共有234名兽医专业人员完成了调查。大多数参与者是男性(89.7%),年龄在26至35岁之间(81.2%)。在所有受访者中,56.4%在政府工作,8.5%在私人执业。大多数参与者感觉到实验室诊断测试的培训,疾病预防,抗菌素耐药性,抗生素敏感性测试,基本流行病学,和临床程序,作为最有益的。此外,大多数受访者希望接受有关影响牛的疾病的培训,家禽,和小反刍动物。这项研究的结果提供了有关兽医专业人员优先培训领域的基线信息,并可能有助于国家努力制定和实施兽医领域的持续专业发展计划,以改善兽医服务。
Pastoral and agro-pastoral farming are extensively practised in Ethiopia, and the main livestock kept are cattle, goats, sheep, poultry, and camels. The livestock sector is faced with complex challenges including limited availability of well-trained and skilled animal health professionals. The objective of this study was to identify and prioritise areas for training with the goal of providing evidence to guide strategies to improve the skills, delivery, and governance of veterinary services across Ethiopia. A cross-sectional survey was developed and administered electronically to veterinary professionals in Ethiopia using the Qualtrics platform. Data were collected on select parameters including demographics, diseases of economic significance, diagnosis, disease prevention, biosecurity, disease control, treatment, epidemiology, One Health, disease reporting, and the participants\' opinions about training. The survey data was downloaded in Microsoft Excel and descriptive statistics performed. A total of 234 veterinary professionals completed the survey. Most participants were male (89.7%) and aged between 26 and 35 years (81.2%). Of the total respondents, 56.4% worked in government and 8.5% in private practice. Most participants perceived training on laboratory diagnostic testing, disease prevention, antimicrobial resistance, antibiotic sensitivity testing, basic epidemiology, and clinical procedures, as most beneficial. In addition, most respondents would like to receive training on diseases affecting cattle, poultry, and small ruminants. The findings from this study provide baseline information on priority training areas for veterinary professionals and could potentially contribute to national efforts to develop and implement a continuing professional development programme in the veterinary domain, in view of improving veterinary service delivery.
