Abstract

Veterinaria Mexico OA ISSN: 2448-6760 Cite this as: Losada-Espinosa N,Trujillo Ortega ME, Galindo Maldonado FA. The welfare of pigs in rustic and technified production systems using the Welfare Quality protocols of pigs in Mexico: Validity of indicators of animal welfare as part of the sustainability criteria of pig production systems. Veterinaria Mexico OA. 2017;4(4). doi: 10.21753/vmoa.4.4.521 . The Welfare Quality® (WQ) protocols have been developed as a tool for the assessment of farm animal welfare based on scientific evidence. Animal welfare (AW) is part of the sustainability criteria of livestock production. A study was carried out in four states of Central Mexico in seven rustic (rPS) and six technified (tPS) production systems using the WQ protocol with the objective of providing an initial approximation of the welfare of animals and to discuss the validity of indicators of AW. The results showed that the animals housed in rustic units presented better results in the Good Health category and with respect to the criterion expression of social behaviour, while the frequency of criteria concerning Positive emotional states was higher in animals in the technified units. In the changing context in which the farms operate, including changing agricultural policies, new environmental and food safety regulations, variability of climatic conditions, and volatility in prices of inputs and outputs, it is not only the attributes referring to productivity and efficiency that become relevant. It is concluded that the criteria related to the WQ principles of health and behaviour are sensitive to changes in the housing and management of pigs. The high occurrences of health and behaviour problems recorded in technified systems are an indicator of poor welfare. Figure 4 .

使用墨西哥猪福利质量协议的乡村和技术化生产系统中猪的福利:作为猪生产系统可持续性标准一部分的动物福利指标的有效性
Veterinaria Mexico OA ISSN:2448-6760引用如下:Losada Espinosa N,Trujillo Ortega ME,Galindo Maldonado FA。使用墨西哥猪福利质量协议的乡村和技术化生产系统中的猪福利:作为猪生产系统可持续性标准一部分的动物福利指标的有效性。兽医墨西哥OA。2017年;4(4)。doi:10.21753/vmoa.4.4.521.福利质量®(WQ)协议已被开发为基于科学证据评估农场动物福利的工具。动物福利(AW)是畜牧业生产可持续性标准的一部分。使用WQ协议在墨西哥中部的四个州对七个乡村(rPS)和六个技术化(tPS)生产系统进行了一项研究,目的是提供动物福利的初步近似值,并讨论AW指标的有效性。结果表明,在良好健康类别和社会行为的标准表达方面,居住在乡村单元的动物表现出更好的结果,而在技术单元的动物中,关于积极情绪状态的标准出现的频率更高。在农场经营的不断变化的背景下,包括不断变化的农业政策、新的环境和食品安全法规、气候条件的可变性以及投入和产出价格的波动性,相关的不仅仅是生产力和效率的属性。得出的结论是,与WQ健康和行为原则相关的标准对猪的饲养和管理变化很敏感。技术化系统中记录的健康和行为问题的高发生率是福利不佳的一个指标。图4。福利质量协议提出的福利类别中的乡村(RS)和技术化(TS)生产单位的分类。
