Analysis of risk factors for the Coccidiosis disease

The results of the analysis the risk factors of the Coccidiosis disease of this study are presented in Table 1. The potential risk factors were concluded as the contaminated feed, the workers working in many farms, unhygienic wet litter, visiting veterinarian and distance between different farms. They had significant impact and were a likely source of the Coccidiosis disease. The mean risk scores of the contaminated feed, the workers working in many farms, unhygienic wet litter, visiting veterinarian and distance between different farms, were 17.00, 13.75, 10.50, 8.00 and 6.75 respectively.

The independent variable having the odds ratio equal or greater than 1 and the p-value equal or less 0.05 would have a significant effect. The Odds ratio of the contaminated feed, the workers working in many farms, unhygienic wet litter, visiting veterinarian and distance between different farms, was 4.61, 3.23, 2.89, 1.04 and 1.02 respectively. The maximum Odds ratio was attained by the contaminated feed followed by the workers working in many farms, unhygienic wet litter, visiting veterinarian and distance between different farms respectively. The p-value of the contaminated feed, the workers working in many farms, unhygienic wet litter, visiting veterinarian and distance between different farms, was 0.006, 0.012, 0.027, 0.034 and 0.049 respectively. The lowest p-value was accomplished by the contaminated feed followed by the workers working in many farms, unhygienic wet litter, visiting veterinarian and distance between different farms respectively. The possibility of getting the Coccidiosis disease in the poultry farm was amplified with the risk factors of the contaminated feed followed by workers working in many farms, unhygienic wet litter, distance between farms and visiting
