  1. Module 8 模組8 Group assessment and management of welfare 動物福利的群體評估與管理

  2. This module will enable you to此模組將使你能夠 • Understand the principles of welfare assessment at group level了解群體福利之評估原則 • Identify different methods for assessment確認不同的評估方法 • Recognise applications for welfare assessment at group level認識動物福利群體評估的應用 • Understand management of health and welfare in group systems了解群體健康與福利系統的管理

  3. Introduction介紹 Assessment of individual animal動物的個體評估使用下列參數： For example, assessment of comb colour, feather-score, beak雞冠色澤,羽毛評估,喙 How do you assess thousands?你要如何評估上千隻動物？

  4. Principles of welfare assessment on group level群體動物福利評估的原則 • Which groups of animals?什麼樣的動物群體 • Farms農場動物 • Laboratory animals實驗動物 • Animals in shelters收容所的動物 • Wildlife野生動物 • Etc.及其他

  5. Principles of welfare assessment on group level群體動物福利評估的原則 • Requirements for welfare indicators動物福利指標的要求 • Practicability實用性 • E.g. time constraints, expenses如時間限制、成本 • Reliability: Amount of random error, including可信度:統計誤差,包括 • Agreement between observers不同評審之一致同意 • Agreement between different observations of the same observer同一評審對不同測試項目之觀察結果 • Validity: Meaningfulness of the parameter有效性:有意義的參數

  6. Epidemiological approach流行病學 • Selecting a representative cross-section of groups of animals (e.g. from all dairy units of an area)從不同動物群體中橫切選擇有代表性的抽樣(如同一地區之不同乳牛群) • Random selection of animals of a group同一群體中之動物做亂數抽樣 • Assessment評估 • Severity and duration of a problem問題的嚴重性和持續性 • Numbers of animals affected – i.e. Prevalence and Incidence受影響的動物數目-盛行率和發生率

  7. Methods方法 • Input – assessment間接評估 • Measurements of housing 房舍測量 • Provision of food and water食物飲水提供 • Qualification of stockperson工作人員能力 • Medicine records 醫療記錄 • Output – assessment 直接評估 • Assessment of live animal 活動物的評估 • Assessment of dead animal (abattoir, post mortems) 死動物評估(屠宰場,死後屠體等評估)

  8. ENVIRONMENT環境 ANIMAL動物 STOCKMAN技師 WELFARE INPUTS動物福利的間接 E.g. housing, diet房舍食物 E.g. breeding育種 E.g. training訓練 ANIMAL-BASED MEASURES以動物為基礎的評估 Welfare Inputs & Outputs動物福利的間接與成果 WELFARE OUTPUTS動物福利的成果 Disease/production疾病和生產 Behaviour行為 Physiology生理

  9. Example 1: Animal-centred assessment 例子1:以動物為中心的評估(Main et al 2003) • Welfare outputs • 動物福利的直接參數 • Dairy cows乳牛 • Farm records農場檢驗紀錄 • Farmer’s estimates of disease incidence, body condition etc農民對疾病發生率及身體狀況的評估 • Independent observations獨立的觀察

  10. Example 2: Animal Needs Index 例子2:動物需求指數(Bartussek et al 2000) • Uses welfare inputs & outputs使用動物福利的間接和直接參數 • Space and movement空間和移動 • Social interaction社交 • Flooring地板材料 • Light and air光線和空氣 • Stockmanship飼養員關懷 • E.g. animal cleanliness動物的清潔

  11. Can we describe ‘welfare’ with one score?是否可以用一種標準測量 • A variety of parameters are assessed各種評估參數 • Can they be summarised to one score?是否可以簡化到只用一種標準做指標 • Are some more important than others?是否某些參數較重要 • What is a ‘normal’ level?何謂正常水準？

  12. Applications應用 • Research研究 • Health and welfare monitoring衛生與福利監測 • Impact assessment of interventions干擾衝擊評估 • Voluntary Certification Schemes NGO主辦之認證制度 • E.g., American Meat Institute如美國肉類協會 • Legislation立法 • Advisory - Preventive medicine勸導-預防醫學

  13. Research examples研究範例 • Monitoring監測下列各項評估 • Assess range in ‘normal’ groups正常群體評估項目 • Assess husbandry systems農場系統評估 • Assess individual resources (risk factors)個體資源(風險因子)評估 • Assess certification schemes NGO認證系統評估 • Assess influence of new legislation新法規效力 • Assess impact of projects 策略衝擊評估

  14. Assess range in normal farms正常乳牛場生理值

  15. Compare husbandry systems比較農場系統 • Group housing of pregnant sows群體懷孕豬舍 • 5.3% lame跛足 • 8.3% overgrown claws趾過長 • 18.2% calluses長老繭 • Individual housing of pregnant sows (Leeb et al, 2001)個別懷孕母豬舍 • 2.4% lame跛足 • 21.4% overgrown claws • 趾過長 • 41.7% calluses長老繭

  16. Assess effect of interventions評估干涉的效果 • Vaccination campaigns 疫苗注射活動 • Owner education and training飼主之教育訓練 • Assess before & after intervention干渉前後之差別 • Compare locations with and without intervention有或沒有實施干涉

  17. Example: Health monitoring舉例:衛生監測 • Current policy當前政策 • Normal treatment and prevention protocol正常防治計畫 • Records記錄-疾病發生 • Disease incidence • Review 檢視水準 • Target levels目標水準 • Intervention levels干涉水準 • Action plan計劃做法

  18. Health and welfare monitoring衛生與福利監測 • Also applicable for wild animals同樣應用再野生動物 • Assessment of inputs e.g. • 評估間接參數如 • – Adequate grazing適當牧區 • – Access to water牧區內之飲水 • Assessments of outputs 評估直接參數 • – Body condition score體態評分 • – Number of young幼畜數目 • – Physiological parameters - e.g. cortisol in faeces生理參數-如糞皮質醇

  19. Voluntary/certification examples NGO認證舉例 • Farm assurance schemes農場保險 • Usually market-led通常是市場導向 • Prime concern is food safety主要考慮食品安全 • UK - Red Tractor Mark scheme, Freedom Foods英國認證標籤 • USA – Certified Humane Program美國認證標籤 • Austria - “Tierschutzgeprueft” use Animal Needs Index for laying hens澳洲:使用動物需求索引在蛋雞上

  20. Voluntary/certification examples NGO認證舉例 • EUREPGAP - international國際認證法律 • Organic certification systems有機認證系統 • Voluntary membership but some EU legislative requirements (EU reg. 1804/1999)歐盟有機立法 • Subsidy requirements補貼需求 • Voluntary system, can choose to join or not可自由選擇加入

  21. Legislation examples立法舉例 • EU legislation 98/58/EC歐盟立法 • Primarily resource-based standards基本資源標準 • However, some can be assessed by observing the animal然而，有些情況是目測動物 • Austria: Animal Needs Index in certain provinces 澳洲:動物需求索引在某些地區 • Salzburg & Tyrol (澳洲若干省) • Minimum ANI score使用最低的ANI評分

  22. Legislation examples立法舉例 • Ireland: Individual cow health assessment愛爾蘭:牛隻個體衛生評估 • Annual inspection of cow as part of TB test 結核病檢測列入年度母牛評鑑 • Switzerland: Assessment of system by research centre瑞士:研究中心評估 • New husbandry systems assessed and authorised新畜牧系統評估授權

  23. How do legislation or certification schemes work?立法或認證之程序 Standards... .-(1) Where calves are housed in groups, they shall have sufficient unobstructed floor space to be able to turn round and lie down without hindrance, and in any event each calf of 150 kg or more live weight must have at least 1.5 square metres unobstructed floor space.(2) Until 1st January 2004, the preceding sub-paragraph shall not apply in relation to accommodation in use before 1st January 1994.(3) Where tethers are used, they must not cause injury to the calves and must be inspected regularly and adjusted as necessary to ensure a comfortable fit.Each tether must be of sufficient length to allow the calves to stand up, lie down, rest and groom itself without hindrance. The design must be such as to avoid, as far as possible, any risk of strangulation or injury.2. Where a calf is housed in an individual stall or pen-(a) the stall or pen shall have at least one perforated wall which enables the calf to see other animals in neighbouring pens or stalls unless isolated for veterinary reasons, except that -until 1st January 2004. this shall not apply in relation to accommodation in use before 1st January 1994;(b) the width of the stall or pen shall be no less than the height of the calf at the withers;(c) the calf must be able to stand up, turn round, lie down, rest and groom itself without hindrance. Standards define the resources that should be provided標準(規範)定義應提供之資源要求

  24. Resources are required independent of their actual effect要求與它們的實際影響無相關性 Based on good practice/ welfare research應以好的操作與福利研究為要求基礎 Assessed by looking at resources應以觀察設備資源進行評估 Example: “Animals not kept in buildings shall at all times have access to a well-drained lying area”無畜舍農場應全時間提供動物乾燥躺臥處所 Standards: Means-orientated設備導向標準

  25. Level of required resources is defined with reference to their effect on the animals on each farm必要提供的資源要求水準是根據其對該農場動物之影響 Assessed by looking at the animal要親眼看到動物予以評估 Example: ‘Animals shall be fed a wholesome diet in sufficient quantity to maintain them in good health, satisfy their nutritional needs and promote a positive state of well-being.’例如：動物應該給予完全食物，供應量需達到維持良好衛生之要求，滿足營養需求與提升正面福利狀況。 Standards: Goal-orientated目標導向標準(譯註：直接標準)

  26. Advisory/Management examples建議/管理舉例 • Problem analysis問題分析 • Perceive–evaluate-act-revaluate問題之察覺-評估-行動-再評估 • Benchmarking system參考評分系統 • Giving points of references for 給下列評分標準之分數 • Animal based parameters以動物為基礎之參數 • Production performance生產表現 • Management system管理系統 • Health plan e.g. Farm Assurance requirement衛生計畫，如農場保險需求 • HACCP systems危害分析及關鍵管制點系統

  27. Example: Goat farm舉例:山羊農場 • Perceive problem察覺問題 • Death of 3 adult breeding females 3隻成年種母羊死亡 • Clinical evaluation e.g 臨床評估如 • Body condition score體態評分 • Teeth檢視牙齒 • Superficial lymph nodes表層淋巴結 • Mucous membranes黏膜

  28. Example: Goat farm (cont)舉例:山羊農場(續)

  29. Benchmarking systems參考評分系統 • Welfare assessment of farm農場之福利評估 • Compare with welfare on farms in the same area和同地域的農場比較動物福利 • Produce farm-specific priorities for action建立農場特定的行動優先次序 • Identify farm strengths and weaknesses確認農場之優缺點

  30. (Leeb et al, 2001) BenchmarkingExample 1: Calluses in sows參考評分 舉例1: 43個豬場之豬腿繭數目做檢測標準

  31. BenchmarkingExample 2: Health of dairy cows參考評分舉例2:乳牛的衛生

  32. Benefits of benchmarking參考評分的益處 • Feedback to farmers motivates them對農民的回饋可以激勵他們 • Encourage鼓勵 • Competition between farms over results各農場結果(數據)之競爭 • Incentive system補貼系統 • Better price for animal products if criteria are met畜產品若符合標準則設法降價

  33. Benefits of benchmarking參考評分的益處 • Educate推廣教育 • Raise awareness of own performance提高自己表現之認知 • Awareness of husbandry solutions to problems了解農場必須解決問題 • Enforce加強執行力 • Define minimum welfare performance定義最低動物福利表現 • Can be used to pass/fail e.g. animal-dependent legislation可用在及格/不及格 如：以動物為基礎之立法 • Alternatively, farmer must produce and implement action plan for certification scheme或者，農民必須建立行動計畫並執行取得認證

  34. Health plan衛生計畫 62. Each herd should have a written health and welfare programme produced, where necessary, with expert advice. This should set out health and husbandry activities covering the whole of the yearly cycle of production. The programme should be reviewed and updated annually by the farmer and should be available for inspection by enforcement authorities. 各農場均要有書面之衛生與福利計畫，必要時得請專家建議。計畫需包含衛生與畜產整年度之生產行動。內容須每年由農民做檢討與修正且需隨時可供督導單位監察。 Farm Animal Welfare Council Report on dairy cattle (1997) 農場動物福利委員會乳牛報告(1997)

  35. Who is responsible?誰的責任 • Responsibility for the success of a welfare action plan lies with為衛生計畫的成功進度負責的 • Animal owner動物飼主 • Their advisors e.g. vet, nutritionist他們的顧問,如獸醫、營養師 • The external assessor of the welfare scheme外界的福利評審員 • Owner飼主 • Overall responsibility負一切責任 • Formulate plan for procedures擬訂計畫步驟 • Maintain records保管紀錄

  36. Who is responsible?誰的責任 • Advisor顧問 • Advice on plans and record system給予計畫與記錄系統建議 • Review of performance審查農場表現 • Advice on corrective action給予修正建議 • Assurance assessor保險評估者 • Assess availability of health plans/records衛生計畫/記錄評估 • Assess frequency of review檢討頻度評估 • Assess implementation of health plan衛生計畫執行評估 • Assess effectiveness of health plana衛生計畫效果評估

  37. General comments通案性意見 • Legislation and certification standards are mostly resource–based立法與認證標準是大部份資源之基礎 • They rely on welfare research有賴於動物福利研究 • Legislation is variably enforced in many countries不同國家之立法推動程度不同 • Certification schemes have a role in enforcing and going beyond legislation認證體制扮演推動執法與超越立法的重要角色 • Management systems (e.g. health plans) are not currently used much管理系統(如衛生計畫)目前使用率不高

  38. Conclusions/Summary結論和摘要 • Practicability, reliability and validity are important可行性、可信性與有效性都很重要 • Depending on the aim, a combination of different parameters is favourable (inputs and outputs)決定於目標，由多項參數共同決定是最好的(直接參數與間接參數) • Research, voluntary certification schemes, legislation and advisory tools are applications of welfare assessment at group level科學研究、自發認證計劃、立法與諮詢手段皆為群體動物福利評估之應用範疇 • The aim of all assessments should be the improvement of animal welfare所有評估應以改善動物福利為宗旨
