Environmental sanitation of livestock? Livestock and poultry environmental hygiene is a subject that studies the relationship between the external natural environment and artificial breeding environment and the health and production of livestock and poultry, reveals the basic laws of environmental factors affecting the health and production of livestock and poultry, and uses, transforms and protects the living environment of animals according to these laws.
Its purpose is to create good living and production conditions for livestock, so as to keep livestock healthy, improve productivity, give full play to livestock production potential and reduce production costs.
Expanding knowledge: environmental sanitation of livestock
Livestock environmental hygiene is a professional basic course for animal science and animal medicine. The content is divided into two parts: basic theory and applied technology. The basic theory includes the adaptation and stress of animals and the characteristics of natural environmental factors (heat, light, air, sound, water, soil, etc. ) and the law of their interaction with livestock. In order to make full use of environmental beneficial factors and control harmful environmental factors, hygiene requirements and preventive countermeasures are put forward.
Application technology includes livestock and poultry production technology, improvement and control of livestock farm environment and barn environment, and environmental protection of livestock farm. The key technologies of livestock farm environment control and livestock house environment control are understood from the aspects of pasture site selection, yard planning and building layout, barn cold and heatstroke prevention design, barn ventilation, lighting, water supply and drainage design, and barn internal process layout.
The teaching of this course focuses on the combination of theory and practice. Through this course, students can understand the economic, social and ecological significance of livestock and poultry environment, and objectively look at the upgrading of livestock and poultry breeding technology in combination with the development needs of healthy livestock and poultry production, intelligent and efficient breeding, quality and safety of livestock products, environmental protection and animal welfare, and analyze the internal and external environmental problems and future development trends of livestock and poultry breeding industry.
Through the case analysis of environmental problems in animal husbandry production, this course organically integrates the theory and technology of this course with other professional knowledge to cultivate students' ability to explore, analyze and solve problems.
