Quality and safe food commodities play an important role, whether it is domestically produced or imported for consumption. So, ensuring safe food is a prime requisite for keeping good human health or enhances the quality of life. The aim of the study was to build up awareness about excessive drug use or malpractice during poultry production and its hazard on human health. Considering this situation, a sorts of subjective training programme was arranged for small scale poultry farmers. After training, farmers were monitored and supervised continuously with a view to ensure proper doses of drug use at farm condition. Keeping this mind a survey was accomplished targeting 100 trained and 100 non-trained farmers at Joypurhat and Bogra districts of Bangladesh. The objective of this study was to identify the cause of abrupt use of different group of drugs, additives, and dose of administration practiced by the commercial farmers and also to assess training impact on profitable of poultry farming. Data were collected during 2009 to 2010 for selected trained and non-trained farmer focusing before and after disease outbreak. The findings of this study revealed that training and monitoring can play a vital role to change the existing malpractice of drug and additives towards increase the profitability among the farmers who have no practical knowledge about proper dose and appropriate drug use for the betterment of small scale poultry farms.
