As food safety has attracted the widespread attention of society, the quality safety of agricultural products has become an important part of food safety and also confronts multiple challenges. In fact, the safe use of veterinary drugs in the production process has become one of important guarantees for the quality safety of agricultural products. It's of great significance to regulate the breeding farmers' safe use of veterinary drugs and to create a safe and healthy production environment for agricultural products. A field survey of individual and large-scale swine breeding farmers in four typical provinces including Henan, Shandong, Jiangxi and Guizhou generated 397 questionnaires. This field survey conducted the internal and external classification of breeding farmers' safe use of veterinary drugs and defined the breeding farmers' safe use of veterinary drugs in the light of dosage, type and standardized operation of veterinary drugs. Based on Lewin's behavior theory, the survey used the structural equation modeling method to systematically examine the generation path of breeding farmers' safe use of veterinary drugs. The comprehensive analysis reveals that breeding farmers' knowledge about veterinary drugs, the attitudes toward the government supervision and the market environment of breeding activities all exert some effects on breeding farmers' use of veterinary drugs. Some suggestions and countermeasures for breeding farmers' safe use of veterinary drugs are provided as follows: First, more efforts should be pumped into publicity and instruction so that breeding farmers can have a better understanding of veterinary drugs. Second, preferential policies should be formulated to encourage the breeding farmers' participation in the industrial organizations of swine breeding farmers, and advocate the industrial organizations' active provision of different technical trainings. Third, the communication and cooperation platform should be created among breeding farmers, slaughter and processing plants and supermarkets, the poultry insurance market should be regulated, and the insurance purchase process should be improved. Fourth, when more subsidies for harm-free and environment-friendly veterinary drugs are provided, more serious punishments should be imposed on the unsafe use of veterinary drugs to offer policy support for the breeding farmers' standardized use of veterinary drugs.
随着食品安全受到社会的广泛关注，农产品质量安全已成为食品安全的重要组成部分，同时也面临着诸多挑战。事实上，在生产过程中安全使用兽药已成为保障农产品质量安全的重要手段之一。规范养殖农户安全使用兽药，为农产品生产营造安全健康的环境意义重大。在河南、山东、江西、贵州四个典型省份对个体养殖户和规模养殖户进行实地调查，共发放 397 份问卷。本研究对内外部分类养殖农户安全使用兽药进行实地调查，根据兽药的剂量、类型和规范操作来定义养殖农户安全使用兽药。基于勒温的行为理论，采用结构方程模型方法系统地检验了养殖农户安全使用兽药的产生路径。综合分析表明，养殖农户对兽药的了解、对政府监管和养殖活动市场环境的态度都对养殖农户使用兽药产生了一定的影响。最后提出了一些促进养殖农户安全使用兽药的建议和对策：第一，加大宣传和指导力度，使养殖农户更好地了解兽药；第二，制定优惠政策，鼓励养殖农户参与生猪养殖农户的产业组织，倡导产业组织积极提供不同的技术培训；第三，在养殖农户、屠宰加工企业和超市之间搭建沟通合作平台，规范家禽保险市场，完善保险购买流程；第四，在提供更多无害和环保型兽药补贴的同时，对不安全使用兽药行为加大处罚力度，为养殖农户规范使用兽药提供政策支持。
