Estimation of swine movement network at farm level in the US from the Census of Agriculture data

Abstract: Swine movement networks among farms/operations are an important source of information to understand and prevent the spread of diseases, nearly nonexistent in the United States. An understanding of the movement networks can help the policymakers in planning effective disease control measures. The objectives of this work are: (1) estimate swine movement probabilities at the county level from comprehensive anonymous inventory and sales data published by the United States Department of Agriculture - National Agric… Show more

“…Between-farm animal movement has historically been associated with disease spread (Augusta, Taylor, & Deardon, 2019;Machado et al, 2020;Moon, Ferdousi, Self, & Scoglio, 2019). Here, we used structured coalescent models to infer migration rates among commercially unrelated pig farms, calculating PRRSV dissemination not related to between-farm pig movement.…”

“…The recent global outbreak of ASF was first identified in Georgia in 2009, spreading across Europe and eventually China by August 2018 [ 18 ]. To combat this, the USDA released the “Disease Response Strategy African Swine Fever” in the spring of 2019 [ 19 ] to serve as strategic guidance in the event of an ASF outbreak. One of the critical pillars of response is the control and subsequent eradication of the disease.…”

“…As stated in the report, “ Quarantine and movement control measures are fundamental to any ASF response effort ” [ 19 ]. While a nationwide standstill on animal movements will ensure no disease transmission results, the effects of regionalized standstill orders are poorly understood.…”

“…In another work by Valdes-Donoso et al, machine learning techniques were used to predict movement networks in the State of Minnesota [2]. A recent work uses a maximum information entropy approach to estimate movement probabilities among swine farms [3] and suggests that the 'small-world phenomenon' could make the US swine industry vulnerable to infectious disease outbreaks. Despite several efforts, pig level networks in the US swine industry are not readily available for simulating disease outbreaks.…”
