To guarantee the pork quality and safety and the steady development of the pig-breeding industry in China, it is important to control veterinary drugs usage in the pig farming sector. In order to develop an effective intervention that control veterinary drug usage, it is important to perform an in-depth analysis of those factors that can affect the standardized use of veterinary drugs in the pig-breeding process. In this paper, hierarchical regression analysis is used to examine how perceived risk, expected benefits, and self-efficacy influence on the standardized use of veterinary drugs. Data were collected using a multi-stage sampling method from four provinces in China. The results show that expected benefit and self-efficacy have positive impacts on the standardized use of veterinary drugs. Self-efficacy significantly moderated the positive relationships between expected benefits and the negative relationships between perceived risk and standardized use of veterinary drugs.
为保障猪肉质量安全和中国养猪业的稳定发展，控制养猪业兽药使用非常重要。为了制定有效的干预措施来控制兽药使用，深入分析影响养猪过程中兽药规范使用的因素非常重要。本文使用层次回归分析检验了感知风险、预期收益和自我效能如何影响兽药的规范使用。数据通过多阶段抽样方法从中国四个省份收集。结果表明，预期收益和自我效能对兽药的规范使用有正向影响。自我效能显著调节了预期收益与感知风险和兽药规范使用之间的负相关关系。
