  perception of risk of disease in along villages along South Africa and Namibia. 
  The Northern Cape shares boundary with Namibia. The population of study is all 
  livestock producers in border villages along Northern Cape provinces, a mix 
  of purposive and random sampling were used to select 140 respondents for the 
  study. Data were collected through the use of questionnaires, on farmers personal 
  and farm characteristics and farmers’ perception of risk of disease. Descriptive 
  statistics were used to analyze farmers personal and farm characteristics. Regression 
  analysis was used to determine the relationship between livestock farmers’ 
  perception of risk of disease and other study variables. The results show that 
  32% of the livestock farmers fall within the age 61 years and above. The 83.6% 
  of the farmers are male, 56.4% of the farmers are married; most of the farmers 
  are literate, 67.9% of the respondents have less than five dependents, 97.9% 
  of the farmers have livestock based farming system, 70% reported that they have 
  no contact with extension agent, 89.3% have access to market. Significant determinant
