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

Our vision is to improve the livelihoods of smallholder pig value chain actors in Uganda by
showcasing how existing livestock value chains can be upgraded for the benefit of all actors in
the system, especially the many poor. Very little has been documented about how pig value
chains operate in U...

In the last 30 years, Uganda has had a massive growth in pig population, from 190,000
in the late 90’s to 3.2 million pigs in 2008, and currently has the highest per capita consumption
