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...

Participatory research for development to upgrade smallholder pig value chains in Uganda
The pork tapeworm, Taenia solium, is prevalent in Uganda although the prevalence has not been determined in all areas of the country. A cross-sectional study, to determine the sero-prevalence of the parasite in pigs kept under rural and urban production settings, was carried out in three Ugandan ...

Sero-prevalence of Taenia spp. cysticercosis in rural and urban smallholder pig production settings in Uganda
Background
Prevalence studies report Taenia solium cysticercosis in pig and human populations in Uganda. However, the factors influencing occurrence in smallholder pig production systems are not well documented and little is known about farmers’ perceptions of T. solium cysticercosis or farmer pr...

Demand for porcine cysticercosis vaccine in Uganda: Lessons and insights
Introduction: the burden of brucellosis among smallholder farmers is poorly-documented in Uganda. The disease burden is likely to be high, given the high levels of endemicity, lots of exposures and due to lack of control measures. In order to designate appropriate control measures, the magnitude ...

This paper analyses governance structures in Uganda’s smallholder pig value chains by applying the New Institutional Economics framework. It utilises cross sectional and qualitative survey data from randomly selected pig value chain actors in 4 districts. A multinomial logit model is applied to a...
