Key Points
- The vertically integrated structure of swine production and the network among swine facilities allow important swine pathogens to spread within and between production sites.
- This study assessed the use of geofencing technology to monitor personnel movements within multisite production systems.
- Social network analysis indicate that employees in administrative and technical support roles are an important consideration with respect to increasing indirect connections between sites of different production phases.
