The study assessed urban farmers' knowledge of health hazards associated with Urban Livestock Farming (ULF) in Southeast Nigeria. Multistage and random sampling techniques were used to select 210 respondents. Structured interview schedule was used to collect data. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Major type of animals reared was broiler. A good proportion of the respondents had a high knowledge of hazards associated with livestock keeping. However, some farmers did not know that animal products from intensive system can be contaminated with heavy metals and that animal dung should be treated before use for crop cultivation. There was a significant influence of socio-economic characteristics of farmers on knowledge of hazards posed by livestock keeping. Farmers' knowledge of hazards varied significantly between the three states studied. Farmers therefore need technical advice to fully understand the hazards associated with urban livestock farming and their consequences as well as on pre-treatment of dung to reduce transfer of pathogens.

该研究评估了尼日利亚东南部城市农民对与城市畜牧业（ULF）相关的健康危害的知识。多阶段和随机抽样技术用于选择210名受访者。结构化的面试时间表用于收集数据。使用描述性和推断性统计数据对收集到的数据进行分析。饲养的主要动物是肉鸡。很大比例的受访者对与饲养牲畜有关的危害有很高的了解。但是，一些农民不知道集约化生产的动物产品可能会被重金属污染，而动物粪便在用于作物种植之前应进行处理。农民的社会经济特征对畜牧业构成的危害知识有重大影响。农民的 在研究的三种状态之间，危害的知识差异很大。因此，农民需要技术咨询，以充分了解与城市畜牧业相关的危害及其后果，以及对粪便进行预处理以减少病原体的转移。
