dc.description.abstractAfrican swine fever (ASF) is the most feared disease by smallholder pig by value chain actors in Uganda, because of its high mortality (Dione et al., 2014). Though many farmers are threatened by the disease, low biosecurity is common along the pig value chain. To explain the current bad practices, value chain actors often point out their lack of knowledge on best practices in pig management (Dione et al., 2014; Ouma et al., 2014). Also issues related to lack of capacities and incentives for value chain actors to adopt biosecurity measures for the control of ASF were observed in the field during value chain assessment carried out by the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI) (Ouma et al., 2014). These factors might have contributed to the persistence and dissemination of the disease amongst the pig population shown by the numerous outbreaks observed in the country. Farmers who are the big losers during those outbreaks are often worried, and a lot of them exit from the business following ASF outbreaks. Currently, there are no effective actions that are being undertaken to control the disease locally, even less so at national level.en_US
