African swine fever (ASF) is currently the most important viral disease affecting domestic pig
production worldwide. The first case of ASF in Serbia was confirmed in 2019 in a backyards
domestic pig population. From the first case it was clear that the observed epidemiological ASF
pattern is associated with the backyards where keeping represents an important meat source
and traditional heritage. Backyards are considered particularly susceptible to ASF introduction
and are of interest in disease prevention and control. The most important biosecurity challenges
related to the domestic pig backyard production in Serbia were analyzed in the period 2020-2022.
In Serbia, more than 50% of the domestic pig production is located in sector with low biosecurity
measures. Rearing backyard pigs is a common, traditional practice in country rural areas.
However, beside personal consumption, backyards can be also the commercial. For that reason,
one the main characteristic of backyards is ex...istence of breeding animals and natural mating
practice in the villages. The mixed backyard systems are common, with different livestock and
agricultural cropping systems. Home-slaughtering represent a type of a cultural and sociological
phenomenon. Backyard pig production is oriented frequently also on different meat product
specialties, as additional income and tradition in some provinces. In Serbia, swill-feeding is
forbidden by the law but it is quite challenging for the control in distant, rural areas. Today,
traditional, culture-related aspects were found to be very important obstacles in ASF control. The
identified risky human-related activities in the villages need to be strictly addressed in the future
in order to prevent further ASF spread in pig production sector. By applying biosecurity measures
in extensive production, we protect the population of domestic pigs on commercial farms
(intensive production) in the country
