Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is threating global public health and has declared as a pandemic crisis around the world. An attempt was made to ascertain the effect of COVID-19 on practices in poultry farming (PPF), problem faced for poultry farming (PFPF) and poultry farmer's perception on COVID-19. A questionnaire based cross-sectional study was conducted among 397 poultry farmers during the period of October to December 2020 in selected area of Bangladesh. The PPF score at just prior and during of the COVID-19 was 7.11 ± 3.25 and 6.53 ± 3.12 having significant difference (p < 0.01). But, the training on poultry farming can improve the PPF score at just prior (7.57 ± 3.20) and during (6.91 ± 3.13) of the COVID-19. Additionally, the mean PFPF score was found of 10.67 ± 6.15. In logistic regression analysis, the farmers of ≥18-29 years aged and had no training were 0.42 (95% CI:0.20-0.88; p < 0.01) and 0.58 (95% CI:0.35-0.98; p < 0.05) times respectively less likely to have satisfactory score on PPF. Similarly, the farmers of ≥18 to 29 and ≥ 40-49 years aged were 2.52 (95% CI:1.36-4.69; p < 0.01) and 2.08 (95% CI:1.12-3.87; p < 0.05) times respectively more likely to have considerable score on PFPF than the farmers of other age group. Interestingly, the internet users had 2.51 (95% CI:0.95-6.57; p < 0.05) times higher to have more satisfactory PPF score (≥60%). Moreover, the farmers of ≥18-29 years aged, masters level education and had training, significantly (p < 0.01) thought the COVID-19 is more dangerous indicated by the higher median (median = 8). In conclusion, the PPF and PFPF score was significantly varied by demographical characteristics of farmers. Therefore, the farmers had the concept about COVID-19 and more than 75% of them believe that COVID-19 doesn't transmit from poultry.
2019冠状病毒病（COVID-19）正在威胁全球公共卫生，并已在全球范围内被宣布为大流行危机。本研究旨在确定COVID-19对家禽养殖实践（PPF）的影响、家禽养殖面临的问题（PFPF）以及家禽养殖户对COVID-19的认知。2020年10月至12月期间，在孟加拉国选定地区对397名家禽养殖户进行了一项基于问卷调查的横断面研究。COVID-19之前和期间的PPF得分分别为7.11±3.25和6.53±3.12，差异有统计学意义（p<0.01）。但是，家禽养殖培训可以提高COVID-19之前（7.57±3.20）和期间（6.91±3.13）的PPF得分。此外，PFPF平均得分是10.67±6.15。在逻辑回归分析中，年龄≥18 - 29岁且未接受培训的养殖户在PPF上获得满意得分的可能性分别降低0.42倍（95%置信区间：0.20 - 0.88；p<0.01）和0.58倍（95%置信区间：0.35 - 0.98；p<0.05）。同样，年龄≥18至29岁和≥40 - 49岁的养殖户在PFPF上获得可观得分的可能性分别比其他年龄组的养殖户高2.52倍（95%置信区间：1.36 - 4.69；p<0.01）和2.08倍（95%置信区间：1.12 - 3.87；p<0.05）。有趣的是，互联网用户在PPF上获得更满意得分（≥60%）的可能性高2.51倍（95%置信区间：0.95 - 6.57；p<0.05）。此外，年龄≥18 - 29岁、具有硕士学历且接受过培训的养殖户显著（p<0.01）认为COVID-19更危险，中位数更高（中位数 = 8）。总之，PPF和PFPF得分因养殖户的人口统计学特征而有显著差异。因此，养殖户对COVID-19有一定认知，超过75%的养殖户认为COVID-19不会通过家禽传播。
