  1. Denis Muhangi, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda Email: mdenis@vetmed.mak.ac.ug CONCLUSIONS • Considerable proportions of farms with ASF potential risk factors. • Although known potential risk factors existed on the pig farms, none were statistically significant. • Risky practices were observed among pig/pork traders. • Pig value chain remains key area where potential transmission of ASF occurs. OBJECTIVES • To document the different factors and practices within the pig value chain that could influence the transmission of African swine fever (ASF). • To assess the potential risk factors for ASF outbreaks on the farms. PRACTICES IN THE PIG VALUE CHAIN IN UGANDAIMPLICATIONS TO TRANSMISSION OF AFRICAN SWINE FEVER D. Muhangi, C. Masembe, M. Berg, K. Stahl, M. Ocaido RESULTS METHODOLOGY • 26% of the farmers had ASF on farm in last one year. • Considerable proportions of farms with practices like free range/tethered pigs, borrowing boars from neighbouring farmers, feeding swill. • The potential risk factors for ASF outbreaks were observed although these were not statistically significant. • Risky practices among pig/pork traders observed. • A cross-sectional study in the districts of Kabarole, Mityana, Mukono, Tororo, Soroti and Moyo in Uganda. • 101 pig farms and 30 slaughter slabs and butchers were surveyed. • Questionnaire surveys administered to pig farmers and pig traders (slaughter slab operators and butchers). • Data on practices was collected. • Analysis for logistic regression of risk factors done in R statistical package.
