This study quantified economic losses from respiratory diseases in pigs in Uganda. Researchers monitored 150 pigs on 80 farms over one year, recording input costs, growth rates, and exposure to pathogens. Preliminary results found that Porcine circovirus 2 and porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus caused major economic losses, reducing production by 12-23%. The study aims to generate evidence to support disease control strategies like vaccination and improve livelihoods of smallholder pig farmers in Uganda.
