Abstract

Korea is introducing new animal welfare rearing standards for swine farmers in order to improve the breeding environment of livestock on Korean farms, Korea is establishing a policy to apply to all new farms in 2019 and to all existing farms in 2025. These guidelines are limiting stall breeding of sows after 4 weeks of pregnancy, the light intensity should be above 40lux, the ammonia level should be below 25ppm and the breeding density area should be increased from $1.4m^2$ to $2.25m^2$. In Europe, where animal welfare has been studied and applied for nearly 100 years, the facility specifications and management manuals are available and provided to farmers to introduce proper animal welfare for pigs and to enhance the convenience and utility of farmers who are converting to raising pigs. The EU has established independent standards for each country, and the EU has set the standards for floor facilities to improve animal welfare on pig farms and as applied by farmers. Yet in Korea, there are no methods and techniques for breeding methods that do not use an ordinary stall, except on a few leading farms. There has been no research on the welfare of sows so that farmer could improve sows' living conditions. Thus, farmers can minimize the difficulty of implementing the changing government policies, and they must develop farm turnover policies and specification management manuals to cope with the introduced regulations on sow group housing. We suggest that conducting research and evaluating the level of sows' welfare are important for farmers.

우리나라는 축산농가의 사육환경 개선을 위해 양돈 농가를 대상으로 새로운 동물복지형 사육기준을 도입하여 신규농가는 2019년, 기존농가는 2025년부터 적용 예정인 정책을 수립 중에 있다. 이는 임신 4주 이후 임신돈 스톨 사육을 제한하며, 조도는 40Lux이상, 암모니아 25ppm이하, 임신돈 사육밀도를 기존 $1.4m^2$에서 $2.25m^2$ 등으로 기준이 강화될 것이다. 동물복지를 100년 가까이 연구하여 적용하는 유럽의 경우, 동물복지형 양돈 도입을 위해 농가에서 활용할 수 있는 시설 및 사양관리 매뉴얼을 제공하여 전환 농가의 편이성 및 활용성을 높이고 있다. EU 자체 및 EU 내 국가별 독립적인 기준을 설정하여 돈사 내 동물복지 개선을 위한 바닥시설 기준을 정하여 농가에 적용하고 있는 실정이다. 하지만 국내의 경우 일부 선도 농가를 제외하고는 일반스톨을 사용하지 않는 사육방식에 대한 방법 및 기술이 전무한 상태이고, 사육면적 외의 모돈의 복지에 가장 크게 영향을 미치는 돈사바닥에 대한 복지수준에 대한 연구결과도 없는 실정이다. 따라서, 정부는 모돈 군사사육 정책변화에 대응 할 수 있으며, 농가의 어려움에 대한 최소화 및 활용 가능한 연구들이 필요하다. 즉, 농가의 시설전환 및 사양관리 매뉴얼 개발과, 동물복지 수준향상을 위한 모돈사 바닥에 대한 연구 및 모돈의 복지수준에 대한 평가 방법들에 대한 연구가 요구된다고 제언하는 바이다.
