Testing Study On The Relationship Between Housing Environment & Facility And Pig's Behavior

The tendency of animal farming development is innocuous and sanitary production mode. Consequently it is required that advanced animal farming engineering technology and matched building equipment and environmental controlling facility. Although most of the Chinese intensive pig farms have used environmental engineering facility to better pig-living house, some abnormal behaviors could be often seen, which shows facilities can not meet the pigs' behavior needs and result in low production performance.Environmental controlling facility and matched equipment should also be used in order to It is the key to restrict epidemic disease, improve production performance and product quality, and guarantee prosperous animal husbandry farming in China.On the base of experiment on several pig farms, researching on relationship between environment & engineering facility and pig's behavior, and find the relationships: house temperature and weaners lying posture behavior, limited pen and weaners social behavior, sleeping-place temperature and fattening pigs & sows, etc. According to the experiments and combine the advanced pig husbandry technology, some engineering measures have been proposed to create cleanly & rich environment adaptive to animal behavior and biological characteristic, and achieve high output, good quality, high efficiency, and low energy consuming. Some engineering measures have been used in practice: Hebei Qinglianshan Breeding Pig Farm, Handan Yongnian Breeding Pig Farm.
