We conducted a cross-sectional study at two sites in the Philippines to obtain baseline information about weight-for-age of smallholder growing pigs, and to identify important constraints and opportunities for smallholder pig raisers. Using an interview-based questionnaire, we collected data about 115 (with 244 growing pigs) and 123 (212) herds at the northern and southern study sites, respectively. At these sites, the median weight-for-age was 5.7 and 5.5 kg/mo, respectively. There was herd-level clustering with respect to weight-for-age, and the breed and origin of the growing pig was strongly associated with this measure of productivity. Herd-level weight-for-age was higher for smallholders who had a strong production focus and who specialised in raising growing pigs.
我们在菲律宾的两个地点开展了一项横断面研究,以获取小农户饲养的生长猪的年龄别体重基线信息,并确定小农户养猪户面临的重要制约因素和机遇。我们通过基于访谈的问卷,分别收集了北部和南部研究地点115个(共244头生长猪)和123个(共212头)猪群的数据。在这些地点,年龄别体重中位数分别为5.7和5.5千克/月。在年龄别体重方面存在猪群水平的聚集现象,生长猪的品种和来源与这种生产力指标密切相关。对于生产重点突出且专门饲养生长猪的小农户,其猪群水平的年龄别体重更高。
