China Takes Major Step Forward to Improve Pig Welfare
中国在改善动物福利方面迈出了关键的步伐
06 June 2017
CHINA - China took a major step forward to improve the welfare of pigs on Monday, 5 June.
中国 - 在六月五日星期一，中国在提高猪的动物福利方面向前迈进了一大步。
According to Jonaid Jilani, Global Media Manager at World Animal Protection, millions of pigs experience physical and psychological suffering on farms around the world on a daily basis. The rising demand for pork has led to most food suppliers overlooking animal welfare in favour of low cost meat.
据世界动物保护协会全球媒体经理Jonaid Jilani介绍，每天在世界各地的农场有数百万只猪身体和心理上忍受着痛苦。 对猪肉需求的增长导致大多数食品供应商以降低造肉成本为主，却忽视了动物福利。
As a result, pigs reared for meat are being kept in cramped and uncomfortable conditions, often on hard concrete floors and with no natural light. The majority of sows used for breeding are kept in cages so narrow that they cannot turn around, Mr Jilani says.
Jilani先生说，因此，生产肉类的猪处于狭窄和不舒适的状况下，常常待在硬混凝土地板上，没有自然光线。大多数用于繁殖的母猪住在狭窄的限位栏里，不能转身。
According to Mr Jilani, Da Be Nong, one of China’s leading agricultural producers, signed an agreement with World Animal Protection and the International Cooperation Committee of Animal Welfare (ICCAW) to start improving the lives of pigs across all of its production sites.
据Jilani介绍，中国领先的农业生产商之一——大北农集团与世界动物保护协会以及动物福利国际合作委员会（ICCAW）签署了协议，开始改善生产基地中猪的生活状况。
The signing ceremony took place between Zhao Zhonghua, Country Director of World Animal Protection China, Song Weiping, vice president of Da Bei Nong, and Xi Chunling, founder and executive president of ICCAW.
签约仪式由世界动物保护协会中国区首席代表赵忠华，大北农常务副总裁宋维平，动物福利国际合作委员会会长席春玲执行签署。
This major move involves a trial group housing for sows and reduction of stocking density for growing pigs. As per the agreement, all animals will be provided with more effective and enriched housing systems and more comfortable flooring.
这一重大举措涉及到一个试验，要为母猪提供住房，并减少生长猪的饲养密度。 根据协议，所有动物将获得更有效和更丰富的住房系统和更舒适的地板。
Mr Jilani hopes that this will help to reduce aggressiveness, thereby cutting down injuries and lameness in pigs. With ICCAW, World Animal Protection also plans to provide ongoing support and guidance to pig producers.
Jilani 希望这个项目有助于减少猪的侵略性，从而减少猪的伤害和跛足发生。 世界动物保护组织与动物福利国际合作委员会也计划向猪生产者提供持续的支持和指导。
Around the world, consumers and retailers are increasingly demanding higher welfare products. According to a survey by World Animal Protection in China in 2016, two-thirds of the Chinese population are willing to pay more for higher welfare pork.
在世界各地，消费者和零售商对更高的福利产品的需求越来越多。 根据2016年中国世界动物保护协会的一项调查显示，三分之二的中国人愿意为更高福利的猪肉支付更多的费用。
