中文摘要 | 永續的家畜生產系統有賴於良好的動物福祉。本研究目的在了解臺灣豬場的環境,以及豬隻生產者對種豬管理與動物福祉的認知與做法,是臺灣目前第一篇針對養豬場進行與動物福祉相關的調查報告。問卷調查於2008 年11 月進行,依據在養頭數,以分層取樣的方法,委託中華民國養豬協會各縣市分會發放給各豬場經營者與管理者作答。調查了全臺灣的377 家豬場共3,333 頭種公豬、63,308 頭種母豬,涵蓋了臺灣約10% 的種豬群。所有資料以SPSS 12.0 版進行分析。問卷分成一般種豬管理與各類種豬照顧與管理,Cronbach’s alpha 的值分別為0.875 與0.914,均屬高信度。調查豬場中81.7%飼養白毛豬,13.3%黑毛豬;建場年份集中在 1982~1991 年間(39.4%),豬隻在養頭數以500~999 頭的豬場最多(27.5%)。調查結果顯示,69.0%的受訪豬場的懷孕母豬全期飼養在狹欄,建場年份與懷孕母豬狹欄飼養有極顯著關聯(P<0.01),在1992~2001 年間建場者,80%的豬場懷孕母豬全期飼養在狹欄;1981 年以前建的豬場約59.0%母豬飼養在狹欄;哺乳母豬使用分娩固定架的豬場佔76.2%;懷孕母豬給飼草料(甘薯葉)的豬場佔27.3%;哺乳期間使用稻草或乾草等墊料的豬場佔20.5%,規模較小的豬場餵飼種母豬草料與使用稻草墊料的比例顯著較大規模豬場高(P < 0.01)。同時只有14.0%的豬場發現懷孕與哺乳母豬有刻板行為,飼養管理人員對刻板行為的認知有待了解。調查豬場中將近八成完全或部分實施仔豬剪除針齒(77%)及剪尾(78%),規模較大的豬場執行這兩項工作的比例,顯著較高 (P < 0.01)。本研究結果發現畜舍形式與建場年份有關,新建豬場應將動物福祉納入考量,以提升動物福祉水準;豬場經營者對動物福祉的正確認知,有助於提升豬隻的動物福祉。此外本研究調查前並未對受訪者進行動物福祉訓練或說明,受訪者可能對動物福祉的定義不清楚而影響準確性,未來進行類似調查,宜到現場進行評估。 |
英文摘要 | Sustainable animal production relies on quality welfare of animals. The purpose of this study was to investigate the resource environment, and the concept as well as the routine work of pig farmers on management and welfare of breeding pigs in Taiwan. As far as we know this is the first paper to actually survey on animal welfare among pig farmers in Taiwan. The survey was conducted in November 2008 using stratified sampling method from the members of the Republic of China Swine Association based on the total number of pigs kept in the farms. In total 3,333 boars and 63,308 breeding sows and gilts, which were raised in 377 pig farms throughout the island, were surveyed. This amount counted to approximately 10% of the breeding herds in Taiwan. All date were analyzed using SPSS 12.0. Cranach’s alpha values were 0.875 and 0.914 for questions on two categories: general breeding pig management and care of sows and boars, respectively. Among the surveyed farms, 81.7% were growing white-haired pigs, and 13.3% were black-haired pigs. Most pig farms were built in 1982-1991 (39.4%), and had population size of 500 to 999 (27.5%). About 69.0% of pig farmers kept their sows in gestation stall, and the year of built the farms was associated with the types of housing (P < 0.01). About 80% farms built in 1992-2001 and 59% built in 1981 before were gestation stalls. Farrowing crates were used in most of farms for lactation sows (76.2%). About 27.3% farmers were provided the fiber feeding for sows (sweet potato vines); while 20.5% of farmers used straw or hay for sow bedding. The small scale farms had higher percentage in providing fiber feeding and bedding (P < 0.01). Only 14% surveyed farmers recognized stereotype behaviors of gestating and lactating sows. The topic needs further discussion among pig farmers. About 80% surveyed pig farmers, performed tooth-clipping (77%) and tail-docking (78%) routinely on piglets. The large scale farms which raising more pigs were significantly higher in carrying out the procedures routinely (P < 0.01). Results of the study indicated the newly build pig farms should take welfare issues into account to increase the level of animal welfare, and the survey interview method should be used in the similar study. In addition, the positive attitude towards animal welfare of the farm owners is associated with the quality of animal welfare. |
