Farm typology
The MFA/HCA approach allowed the identification of three types of
domestic pig farms (Table 2). Type 1 (n=17) included farrow to finish
farms with intermediate biosecurity measures against wild boar
intrusions located in woodlands (Fig. 2) areas with high to medium wild
boar densities (Fig. 3). Half of these farms reported incursions of or
interactions with wild boars and most of these farms were located in the
OD outbreak area. Type 2 (n=6) included farms located in high wild boar
density areas and characterized by weak biosecurity measures against
wild boar intrusions. Half of these farms reported incursions or
interactions with wild boars and all of these farms were located in the
OD outbreak area. Type 3 (n=7) included farms highly protected against
intrusions of wild boars and located in cultivated areas. None of these
farms reported incursions of or interactions with wild boars and most of
them were located outside the OD outbreak area.
