Among the significant public and animal health concerns in the world, Anthrax and Brucellosis are the detrimental but neglected zoonotic infections in many developing countries. It was thought that Ethiopia has the largest livestock population in Africa and the majority of its population relies on agriculture as both a source of nutrition and income. Therefore; people who have frequent contact with animals in areas where Brucellosis is endemic are at high risk of contracting the disease. Thus, the study on prevention practices of Anthrax and Brucellosis among cattle owning households and recommending proficient standard methods will have a vital role to undertake evidence-based intervention for the reduction of Anthrax and Brucellosis diseases.The main objective of the present study is to assess the prevention practices of Anthrax and Brucellosis among cattle owners and identify associated factors among cattle owners in Bole sub-city, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
