Pig marketing and institutional strengthening: Uganda smallholder pig value chain capacity development training manual
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
of pork in East Africa (3.4 kg year). The majority of Uganda’s pig farmers
are smallholders (1.2 million househo...

Perceptions of women and men smallholder pig keepers in Uganda on pig keeping objectives, and breed and trait preferences
Smallholder pig production in Uganda is constrained by poor management and high disease burden, with African swine fever (ASF) being one of the most important contributors. However, data to develop appropriate evidence-based disease mitigating interventions along the pig value chain are lacking. ...

Risk factors for African swine fever in smallholder pig production systems in Uganda
African swine fever (ASF) is one of the most important pig diseases, causing high case fatality rate and trade restrictions upon reported outbreaks. In Uganda, a low-income country with the largest pig population in East Africa, ASF is endemic.
Animal disease impact is multidimensional and includ...

Enhancing biosecurity along Uganda’s pig value chains to control and prevent African swine fever
Pigs are sensitive to heat stress as they lack functioning sweat glands and have small lungs, which reduce their ability to disseminate heat by panting. Moreover, there is limited attention to impacts of climate change on pigs in Uganda by stakeholders despite the potential vulnerability of pigs ...
