ABSTRACT
Pig production is among other animal keeping activities that have been practised in Morogoro region for food as well as generating income. The increase in urban population in the region has resulted into the increase in urban and peri-urban farming as a response to the increament in food demand from plants as well as animals; thus created a need to understand the health risks that could be brought about, and the biosecurity measures that can cancel those risks. This crosssectional study was conducted in 13 wards of Morogoro municipality,Tanzania, to assess possible health risks in urban and peri-urban pig production and identify available biosecurity measures. A total of 282 pig farmers were randomly chosen from purposively selected streets answered a structured questionnaire to measure respondents’ knowledge on the diseases that have affected his/her pigs, husbandry systems and practises, animal waste management as well as biosecurity practices and their feasibility. Twelve (12) key informants were interviewed on the subject: Qualitative data were subjected to content analysis and association between variables were assessed for statistical significance at a critical probability of P
