There was no correlation between the level of knowledge and biosecurity practices (Pearson 0,462; p<0,01), and a good level of knowledge was not necessarily associated with a good level of practice (OR= 1,9 IC95% [0,7-4,9]).Conclusions: Highest percentage was found in a high level of knowledge on biosecurity, the results are lower with respect to practices, however there was not professional with a bad level of practices, attitudes were favorable in almost all professional.
