Abstract : This cross-sectional study assessed biosecurity, poultry farm structure, and antibiotic use practices in Côte d’Ivoire between February and July 2024, based on a questionnaire survey administered to poultry farmers and descriptive and analytical statistical analyses. The results show a strong concentration of farms in urban and peri-urban areas, particularly in Abidjan, reflecting an intensification of poultry production oriented toward urban markets.

Keywords : Poultry Farming, Biosecurity, Antibiotics, Antimicrobial Resistance, Poultry Production Systems, Cote D’ivoire.
