The present study was conducted to determine the environmental and biosecurity-related risk factors for African swine fever outbreaks among domestic pig farms in Peninsular Malaysia. Data collected through a face-to-face interview with the pig farmers using a structured, close-ended questionnaire were analyzed using univariate and multivariate logistic regression. The final logistic regression model identified (1) presence of wild birds in the pig pens area (OR = 0.08; 95 CI, 0.01–0.74; p = .03), (2) presence of attractive crops/fruit trees surrounding the farm (OR = 4.00; 95 CI = 1.25–12.82; p = 0.02), (3) sharing of workers with other farms (OR = 6.11, 95 CI, 1.46–25.61; p = .01), (4) entry of visitor’s vehicle into farm (OR=0.14; 95 CI, 0.02–1.00; p=.05), (5) entry of feed truck into farm (OR=5.45; 95 CI, 1.03–28.92; p=.04), (6) presence of biting insects such as flies, mosquitoes on pig’s body which irritates the pigs (OR=0.21; 95 CI, 0.06–0.80; p=.02), and (7) farm prone to rodent access and infestation (OR=0.15; 95 CI, 0.03–0.79; p=.03) as the significant risk factors for African swine fever outbreaks in the studied farms. These findings highlight the need to strengthen on-farm biosecurity practices, farm management practices, and strict control of vehicle movement into the farm to prevent African swine fear outbreaks in the future. © 2024 Istanbul University.
