Temporal network
We assessed the temporal network in monthly snapshots, describing the patterns of the pig trade throughout the period of study using the parameters described in table 2.
The number of nodes and edges decreased over time, ranging between 3548 to 4157 and 7849 to 9979, respectively. The mean and sum of pigs moved per movement increased over time. The percentage of the GSCC and GWCC varied through time without an apparent temporal trend. Graph density, clustering coefficient, and in-degree centralization showed a peak value in the middle of the year 2016 (figure 4).
