the research was done during December 2021 and January 2022.

to present the results and analyzed the data, the replicates, the percentages, weighing mean, the average degree, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, Pearson's simple correlation coefficient, correlational analysis model and progressive multiple step-wise regression were used.

the most important results were as follows: 1-40.1% of the respondents had a low level of knowledge, 45.3% had a moderate level of knowledge, and 14.6% had high level of knowledge of the extension recommendations related to the prevention of diseases of the studied farm animals.
