Abstract

This descriptive correlational study assessed the level of knowledge and extent of biosecurity practices among backyard hog raisers in San Fernando, La Union, in response to African Swine Fever (ASF). Results indicated that most raisers were middle-aged males with moderate knowledge of ASF-related biosecurity. They generally practiced disinfection, cleaning, and segregation. Significant correlations were found between demographic factors (experience, education, and training) and knowledge and practices. The study recommends tailored information materials, government-supported training programs, and cross-sectoral awareness campaigns to improve ASF biosecurity compliance.
