This study aimed to characterize farming practices and the use of antibiotics in the process of peri-urban poultry farming in Burkina Faso. Surveys were carried out on poultry farms with a questionnaire sent to 121 breeders in Ouagadougou and its surrounding areas. The results showed that poultry farming is dominated by males (79.3%) with a low level of education. Most poultry farmers make very little use of the services of an animal health specialist. Almost half (50.4%) of poultry farmers used a combination of modern treatment and decoction obtained from local plants. Self-medication was estimated at 73.6% while 38% of the drugs used came from unauthorized street sales. Poultry farmers (36%) said they didn't respect the recommended doses. Unhygienized poultry manure is discarded in nature or sold for use in fields or gardens. These practices present risks of spreading multiresistant bacteria. This study provides an overview of husbandry practices and antibiotic use in peri-urban livest
