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
bacterial...

Animal health services delivery systems and disease surveillance in the smallholder pig value chain in Uganda
Pork represents more than 70% of meat consumption in Vietnam, and pig production
provides livelihood for more than 4 million small farmers in the country. Understanding
pork consumption behaviour is thus important for upgrading the pig value chains
in Vietnam. The study is conducted with 416 hous...

Perceptions of women and men smallholder pig keepers in Uganda on pig keeping objectives, and breed and trait preferences
Using a broad systematic literature review of peer reviewed publications and grey literature, the paper summarizes the most relevant gender issues in the pig value chain of Vietnam, and the ways in which these could be addressed. Specifically, women were found to face more severe constraints than...
In Vietnam, there are about four million households producing pigs of which more than half are producing at small scale, i.e., about one to two pigs per production cycle. One of the most critical constraints to pig production, especially for small scale, is the presence of animal disease. Many ty...

There is limited attention to impacts of climate change on pigs in Uganda by stakeholders despite the potential vulnerability of pigs to climate change, especially heat stress. Pigs are very sensitive to heat stress as they do not have functioning sweat glands (as other livestock species do) and ...

In this presentation we would like to introduce a novel diagnostic tool for Taenia solium cysticercosis in
the porcine host. This tool is a rapid, user-friendly lateral flow format assay utilising the HP10 monoclonal
antibody. We will describe the production of this assay, its performance as judg...
