The main objectives of the study were to determine the consumers’ awareness regarding the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health and to explore the relationship between the selected characteristics of the respondent consumers and their awareness. The study was conducted at Mohammad Nagar residential area under Batiaghata Upazila of Khulna district and Nirala residential area of Khulna City Corporation, Khulna, Bangladesh following descriptive and diagnostic type of research design. Forty respondents from each of the residential areas were interviewed as the sample of the study and data were collected through personal interview method using an interview schedule by the researcher between January–February 2019. Most (80%) of the respondents were highly aware while only one-fifth (20%) of the respondents had medium awareness about the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health. Consumers were highly aware that resistance is grown in pathogenic organisms causing diseases in the human body against antibiotics that were used in inpatient treatment; thus, resulting in treatment failure. However, consumers were less aware of allergic reactions and painful rash, which are possible with many antibiotics. The mean awareness score of the consumers residing at Nirala was higher than that of the Mohammad Nagar residential area but it did not differ significantly. This might be due to the proximity of the two residential areas. Among ten selected characteristics of the respondents; education, family education, annual family income, exposure to communication media, nutritional knowledge, animal protein consumption behavior, and attitude showed a positive significant relationship with their awareness regarding the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health. Consumers in the study area are concerned about the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health.

To analyze the selected characteristics of the consumers.

To determine consumers’ awareness regarding the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health.

To explore relationships between the selected characteristics of the consumers and their extent of awareness regarding the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health.

The present study was a descriptive and diagnostic type of research. It was designed to study consumers’ awareness regarding the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health. The study was conducted at Mohammad Nagar residential area under Batiaghata Upazila of Khulna district and Nirala residential area of Khulna City Corporation, Khulna, Bangladesh. All the household heads of Mohammed Nagar and Nirala residential areas of Khulna were considered as the population of the study. Forty family heads from each of the residential areas were interviewed purposively as the sample of the study. Thus, the sampling technique was purposive and the sample size stood at 80. The primary data were collected through a face-to-face interview between  January-February, 2019.   Reviewing related studies, the authors considered some of the selected characters of the respondents as independent variables for the study. The characteristics were age, educational qualification, family size, family education, annual income, exposure to communication media, nutritional knowledge, animal protein consumption behavior, training exposure, and attitude towards antibiotics used in animal feed. Consumers’ awareness regarding the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health was considered as a dependent variable in this study. All qualitative data were converted into quantitative form by means of applying some appropriate scoring technique. In several instances, indices and scales were constructed through the simple accumulation of scores assigned to individuals or patterns of attributes. To determine consumers’ awareness, five statements related to the effects of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health were incorporated in the interview schedule. To strongly agree, agree, undecided, disagree, and strongly disagree were employed against the five statements and a score of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 were employed against the scales respectively. The awareness score of a respondent would range from 5 to 25, where ‘5’ indicate low awareness and ‘25’ indicates high awareness. Based on awareness score, the respondents were categorized into three groups as low awareness (≤8), medium awareness (9-16), and high awareness (>16).  

AI = Nsag× 5 + Nag×4 + Nud × 3+ Nda × 2 + Nsda× 1

Where,

AI = Awareness Index

Nsag = Number of respondents rated the impact as strongly agree

Nag = Number of respondents rated the impact as agree

Nud = Number of respondents rated the impact as undecided

Nda= Number of respondents rated the impact as disagree

Nsda= Number of respondents rated the impact as strongly disagree

The awareness index (AI) score would range from 80-400 where 80 indicates low awareness and 400 indicates high awareness on a particular statement regarding the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health. Data were compiled, tabulated, and analyzed based on the objectives of the study. Different statistical treatments such as number, mean, standard deviation, range, minimum, maximum, rank order, and percentage were used to describe the variables. To explore the relationship between variables, Pearson Product and Spearman Rank Correlation Coefficients were used. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 20.

Based on the finding of the study and its scientific interpretation it can be concluded that most of the respondents were highly aware of the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health. Only one-fifth of the respondents had medium awareness about the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health. Consumers were highly aware that resistance is grown in pathogenic organisms causing diseases in the human body against antibiotics which are used in patient treatment resulting in treatment failure. But consumers were less aware of allergic reactions and painful rash which are possible with many antibiotics. The mean awareness score of the consumers who resided at Nirala residential area was higher than that of the Mohammad Nagar residential area but it did not differ significantly. This might be due to the proximity of the two residential areas. Among the selected characteristics of the respondents; education, family education, annual family income, exposure to communication media,   nutritional knowledge, animal protein consumption behavior, and attitude showed a positive significant relationship with their awareness regarding the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health. In pursuit of the findings and observations, it is clear that the consumers in the study area are concerned about the effect of antibiotics used in animal feed on human health. Government and the producer should develop new strategies for the prudent use of antibiotics in food-producing animals to ensure food safety.
