**6.2 Updated pig management procedures to keep pigs away from human excrement**

The transmission of *T. solium* cysticercosis is closely linked to poor pig management practices, particularly the exposure of pigs to human excrement. Upgrading pig management procedures is crucial to prevent contamination and subsequent transmission of *T. solium* eggs. Effective measures include constructing and maintaining appropriate pig housing facilities, such as pig pens and enclosures, that minimize contact with human waste. Furthermore, the development and implementation of strict waste management protocols, including proper disposal of human excrement and separate waste systems for pigs, are essential to reduce environmental contamination. By adopting these updated pig management procedures, the risk of *T. solium* cysticercosis transmission can be significantly mitigated [55–57].
