Introduction
Biosecurity protocols reduce the introduction and spread
of pathogens among swine farms. For pigs, biosecurity
ensures market stability, maintains export opportunities,
and controls spread of production and public health
diseases. Salmonella, the second most common cause of

Development of balanced diets using local feeds for smallholder East African pigs: Implications for livelihoods and food security
Pigs can play an important role in risk diversification and livelihood security of many smallholder
and poor households in Uganda. Women and youth/children provide most of the pigproduction
labour, especially for forage collection, feeding and watering; and they are responsible
for about 90% of p...

Silage-based diets for local and crossbred pigs in Uganda
Introduction: Smallholder pig farmers in east Africa report that lack of feed, seasonal feed shortages, quality and cost of feed are key constraints to pig rearing. Commercially prepared pig diets are too expensive and there is competition for food between pigs and people. Smallholder farmers typ...

Silage- and forage-based diets compared to commercial diets in Ugandan pig growth
Introduction: Smallholder pig farmers in east Africa typically wean pigs at 6 to 8 weeks. Farmers report that commercially prepared pig diets are too expensive and therefore typically feed forage and food waste. This results in low average daily gain (ADG), especially for the newly weaned pig. Th...
