Hygienic conditions of growing, behavior and welfare of swine

Abstract

Space and microclimate conditions in intensive system of growing,, behavior comfort and health of swine are analyzed in this paper. Obtained results indicate that space conditions make considerable limitations for some categories of swine. Air velocity in genera^ and temperature values in younger categories environment are microclimate parameters showing discrepancy to desirable animal hygiene standards. The most frequent behavior disorders among animals on this farm were stereotypes, apathetic and aggressive behavior. Health problems were present, concerning reproductive, locomotor, respiratory and digestive disorders. Eradication of present infective diseases, correction of living conditions, stockpersons behavior toward pigs and upgrading level of pigs comfort, which is possible could enable better pig production.

U radu su analizirani prostorni i mikroklimatski uslovi, ponašanje, dobrobit i zdravstveno stanje svinja u inlenzivnim uslovima gajenja. Dobijeni rezultati ukazuju da prostorni uslovi na farmi u znatnoj meri sputavaju pojedine kategorije svinja. Od mikroklimatskil uslova higijenskim standardima ne odgovaraju brzina strujanja vazduha, kao i temperature za mlađe kategorije. Najznačajniji poremećaji u ponašanju svinja na farmi su stereotipije su apatično i agresivno ponašanje. Od zdravstvenih poremećaja na farmi javljaju se bolesti lokomotornih organa, poremećaji u reprodukciji poremećaji respiratornog i digestivnog trakta. Eradikacija prisutnih infektivnih oboljenja, korekcija uslova smeštaja i postupka sa životinjama kao i podizanje nivoa udobnosti, dovelo bi do boljih proizvodnih rezultata.
