“…Здійснене пізніше впровадження систем із кількома відокремленими виробничими майданчиками призвело до того, що виробництво свинини в США на одну свиноматку почало зростати зі швидкістю приблизно 1,9 % на рік (Harris & Harris, 2023). Утримання свиней мультифазним способом на дорощуванні мало наслідком зниження інфекційних захворювань та, як наслідок, зниження імунної активації поголів'я, спричинене ізольованим вирощуванням, яке в свою чергу позитивно впливало на склад туші, підвищувало швидкість росту, покращувало ефективність споживання корму та знижувало потребу в додатковому лізині (Bai & Plastow, 2022;Wang & Hu, 2023).…”

“…Результати проведених нами досліджень, подібно до висновків інших авторів (Harris, 1999;Bai & Plastow, 2022;Wang & Hu, 2023;Voloshinov et al, 2024), показали, що під час дорощування як абсолютні, так і середньодобові прирости були вищими при переміщенні поросят між виробничими майданчика-ми порівняно із аналогами, які вирощувалися від відлучення до переведення на відгодівлю незмінно на одній фермі, що також суперечило даним дослідників (Tishchenko et al, 2024), які вказували на негативний вплив зміни середовища на ріст тварин. Одночасно отримані нами дані щодо погіршення показника конверсії корму у свиней, дорощування яких складалося із фазного переміщення між різними приміщеннями свинокомплексу, співпали із результатами (Tishchenko et al, 2024), де вказано на цю особливість, однак було протилежним до думки зарубіжних вчених (Bai & Plastow, 2022;Wang & Hu, 2023), які відмічали зниження витрат корму на одиницю приросту за використання мультифазного способу дорощування.…”

Our research aimed to establish the productivity of piglets during their two-phase rearing with different durations of the phases of this period of the production cycle. It was established that at the end of the first rearing phase, animals' absolute gains and weight upon its completion depended more on its duration than on the intensity of piglet growth during this period. Thus, in the group where the duration of the first phase of rearing was 17.6 % shorter, the weight of piglets when transferred to the second phase of rearing was 15.0 % lower, while in the group where the duration of the first phase of rearing was 35.3 % shorter, the weight of animals when transferred to the second phase turned out to be 28.3 % smaller, and in the group where the duration of the first phase of rearing was 52.9 % shorter, the weight of piglets at the end of the first phase turned out to be 50.5 % lower. In the second phase of fattening, the intensity of growth in animals with a duration of 9 and 18 days did not have significant differences, while their counterparts with a 27-day duration of the second phase of fattening had average daily gains in the second phase of fattening by 13.7–15.6 % more than the previous groups. The difference in absolute growth depended more on the duration of the period and less on the intensity of growth during this period. Thus, in the group where the duration of the second phase of rearing increased by 17 %, the absolute growth during this time increased by 1.97 times, and with its increase by 35 %, the latter increased by 3.41 times compared to the group of piglets where the duration of the second phase of rearing was 9 days. The live weight of piglets at the end of the second growing phase increased by 4.3 % and 8.5 %, respectively. The preservation of piglets in the second phase of rearing did not have significant differences between groups of piglets with different durations of the second phase of rearing. In contrast, the average weight of piglets dropped out in the second rearing phase decreased by 15.4–33.5%, with an increase in the duration of the second phase from 18 % to 35 and 52 % of the entire growing time. It has been proven that with an increase in the duration of the second phase of rearing, in which liquid feeding of piglets was used by 18 %, 35 %, and 53 % of the entire rearing time, the intensity of growth of piglets increased, and due to which their absolute growth increased by 4.5 %, 10.2 %, and 16.3 %, respectively, the live weight at the transfer to fattening increased by 3.4 %, 7.9 %, and 12.2 %, respectively, the technological waste of piglets decreased by 1.06 %, 1.83 %, and 2.23 %, decreased by 13.7, and 25.8 %, the weight of piglets that were eliminated during the entire period of rearing compared to analogs that had 100 % of the time the first phase of rearing under dry feeding systems.

“…As a result, even in the post-ASF era, most pig farmers do not take disinfection and isolation seriously [14]. There are also limitations associated with the segregation of pigs from insects and rodents [15]. The scale, mode, and management style of Chinese pig farms vary significantly, leading to poor epidemic prevention awareness and inadequate facilities.…”

Effective biosecurity measures are crucial in controlling and preventing major pig diseases, ultimately ensuring farm income and social stability. This study extracted data from 205 farmer surveys in Sichuan Province, China, to construct a biosecurity index system for pig farms. The biosecurity levels of pig farms were evaluated using a projection pursuit method to identify weak areas. The Tobit model was then utilized to determine the factors that influenced the biosecurity levels. The results indicated that the overall biosecurity levels of the pig farms were low. The study found that the average biosecurity score among farms was 0.61, with a minimum score of 0.37 and a maximum score of 0.89 (on a scale of 0 to 1). These results suggest that there are significant differences in biosecurity levels among the farms. The study also found that the scores for first-level indicators related to breeding environment management, as well as second-level indicators related to personnel management and awareness of African swine fever prevention and control, were significantly lower than scores for other indicators in the farmers’ biosecurity systems. This study investigated the factors influencing biosecurity on farms and found that technical training, farm size, income share, production organization, and government inspections had a significant impact on the level of biosecurity implemented. This study emphasizes the significance of biosecurity in enhancing pig farm biosecurity and its role in improving farm resilience to major animal diseases like African swine fever. It also provides valuable insights for policymakers to make informed decisions regarding related policies.

“…The degree of epidemic loss has a significant negative impact on the decision-making behavior of farmers, but the difference in the factors that affect the decision-making behavior across different farm sizes is obvious [ 12 ]. This difference also affects the behavior, efficiency, and effectiveness of the farm’s disease prevention and control efforts [ 13 , 14 ].…”

African swine fever has damaged the foundation of China’s hog industry, caused a serious decline in hog production, highlighted the contradiction between supply and demand in the pork market, and led to major economic and social impacts. The industrial resilience of 31 Chinese provinces to African swine fever shock and its spatial and temporal differentiation characteristics from 2018 to 2021 were measured in this study from the two dimensions of resistance and recoverability. Using Geodetector, the key factors influencing the resilience of China’s hog industry were explored. The results showed that 2018–2019 and 2020–2021 represented the resistance and recovery periods of the hog industry under African swine fever shock, respectively, with poor resilience characterizing the resistance period and improved resilience characterizing the recovery period. At the early stages of the African swine fever outbreak, the hog industries in Tianjin, Shanxi, Guangxi, and Yunnan had robust resistance due to the slaughter rate, economic level, mortality rate, carcass weight, and culling rate in those areas. At the most severe stage of the outbreak, resistance was generally poor in all provinces due to the slaughter rate, per capita consumption, and scale level at the time. During the period of rapid recovery in hog production, the recoverability of each province was very strong due to the industrial structure, culling rate, economic level, and resource carrying capacity at that time. During the reasonable adjustment period of hog production capacity, the recoverability based on the breeding sow inventory in 13 provinces, including Henan, Shandong, and other large hog-breeding provinces, was negative due to the scale level, slaughter rate, per capita consumption, and resource carrying at that time. Taking measures to enhance the resilience of the hog industry, strengthen the prevention and control of hog epidemics, improve the monitoring and early warning mechanisms, and enhance the ability of the hog industry to cope with major animal epidemics is recommended.
