These systems allow poor farmers the opportunity to enter into livestock keeping without large capital investments. This, combined with a growing demand for pork, especially in urban areas, has led to an increase in the number of small-holder farmers keeping free range pigs as a commercial enterprise. Despite the benefits which pig production can bring to a household, keeping pigs under a free range system increases the risk of the pig acquiring diseases, either production-limiting or zoonotic in nature. This study used Global Positioning System (GPS) technology to track free range domestic pigs in rural western Kenya, in order to understand their movement patterns and interactions with elements of the peri-domestic environment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We found that these pigs travel an average of 4,340\u2009m in a 12\u2009hr period and had a mean home range of 10,343\u2009m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      (range 2,937\u201332,759\u2009m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) within which the core utilisation distribution was found to be 964\u2009m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      (range 246\u20133,289\u2009m\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      ) with pigs spending on average 47% of their time outside their homestead of origin.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      These are the first data available on the home range of domestic pigs kept under a free range system: the data show that pigs in these systems spend much of their time scavenging outside their homesteads, suggesting that these pigs may be exposed to infectious agents over a wide area.
