Asia is not only the primary region for global pig production but also the largest consumer of pork worldwide. Although the pig production in Asia has made great progress in the past, it still is confronted with numerous challenges. These challenges include: inadequate land and feed resources, a substantial number of small-scale pig farms, escalating pressure to ensure environmental conservation, control of devastating infectious diseases, as well as coping with high temperatures and high humidity. To solve these problems, important investments of human and financial capital are required to promote large-scale production systems, exploit alternative feed resources, implement precision feeding, and focus on preventive medicine and vaccines as alternatives to antibiotics, improve pig breeding, and increase manure recycling. Implementation of these techniques and management practices will facilitate development of more environmentally-friendly and economically sustainable pig production systems in Asia, ultimately providing consumers with healthy pork products around the world.

본 연구는 HACCP 제도를 적용하고 있는 소규모, 중규모, 대규모 양돈농장의 HACCP 제도 도입 목적, 효과, 그리고 문제점 등을 비교분석하기 위한 목적으로 실시하였다. 소규모와 중규모 양돈농장은 HACCP 도입 목적의 1순위를 정부의 예산을 지원받기 위함이라고 하였으나 대규모 농장은 농장의 경쟁력 향상이라고 답하였다. HACCP 적용 효과는 소규모 농장의 경우 체계적인 농장관리를 1순위로 응답하였으나 중규모와 대규모 농장은 농장의 위생관리 수준 향상이라고 답하였다. 아울러 HACCP 적용에 따라 발생되는 가장 큰 문제점으로는 직원의 의식향상의 어려움(소규모 농장)과 HACCP 도입에 따른 기록관리(중규모, 대규모 농장)인 것으로 조사되었다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위해서는 양돈농장 HACCP 평가항목 수의 조정과 종업원을 대상으로 HACCP 교육을 실시할 필요성이 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) commonly infects cloven-hoofed livestock animals such as cattle, pig, sheep, and goat and its clinical signs are well-known. Besides livestock, FMD can be transmitted among cloven-hoofed animals in the wild. FMD mostly affects livestock animals in farms, but, wild animals are likely to play a pivotal role in spreading the disease due to their way of free living. In the case of deer, the clinical signs of FMD vary widely from subclinical to severe infections. Thus, in some deer species, it may be hard to verify clinical signs of FMD. A deer may carry the virus up to 11 weeks after exposure, shedding the virus during the period. However, deer is not considered as a typical host for persistent infection like buffalo, cattle or sheep. In Korea, small-scale livestock farms which have less than 10 animals make up 63.6% of the entire livestock farms. Considering raising environment in deer farms, it is assumed that the risk of virus excretion and consequent transmission of FMD among deers is relatively lower than other cloven-hoofed animals. However, Sika deer and Elk which are typical deer species in Korea would manifest mild to subclinical symptoms upon FMD infection. Therefore, laboratory testing is necessary to confirm FMD in these animals because of difficulty in verifying clinical signs and the risk of virus shedding during inapparent infection.

본 연구의 목적은 양돈사육 농가의 기계장치 보유현황, 시설의 구성, 분뇨처리 방법 등에 관한 실태를 분석하여 문제점을 개선하고 양돈농가에서 양돈 경영을 하기 위해서는 최소한으로 갖추어야 할 시설 및 기계장치 등을 대상으로 양돈의 사육규모별 작업공정별 기계 및 장치의 최소투입 모델을 개발하는데 있다. 성장단계별로 농가의 사육두수 분포를 분석한 결과 조사대상 농가의 총 사육두수를 100으로 하였을 때 종웅돈 0.5%, 임신돈 7.9%, 분만돈 2.1%, 이유자돈 29.4%. 육성돈 29.4%, 비육돈이 30 7%로 나타났다. 기계화모델 개발을 위해서는 농가의 조사결과와 연구문헌을 종합하여 종웅돈 0.4%, 임신돈 6.9%, 분만돈 2.4%, 이유자돈 23.6%, 육성돈 27.6%, 비육돈이 39 1%로 결정하였다. 분만돈사와 이유자돈사는 여름철 냉방 및 겨울철 난방 등 돈사내부의 환경관리가 매우 중요시되고 있기 때문에 일부 양돈장에서 무창돈사로 시설하고 있었으나 보급율이 22.2~44.4%로 낮게 나타나 금후의 보급이 활발할 것으로 판단된다 기계화 모델로는 환경관리가 생산성에 많은 영향을 미치는 분만돈사와 이유자돈사를 무창돈사로 설정하였고, 임신돈사, 육성돈사, 비육돈사는 기존의 개방형 돈사로 시설하는 것이 좋을 것으로 판단된다 돈사의 시설면적이 적정면적보다 작거나 큰 경향을 보이고 있기 때문에 밀식 사육으로 인한 질병의 발생과 과다한 면적으로 시공하여 돈사의 건축비가 과다 투자되는 등의 문제점이 발생하고 있다 따라서 본 연구에서 설정한 기계화 모델에서는 적정 시설면적을 성장단계별로 종웅돈, 임신돈, 분만돈, 이유자돈, 육성돈. 비육돈의 경우 각각 8.64, 1.36, 3.96, 0.40. 0.60. 0.80m$^2$/head 로 설정했다. 겨울철의 난방을 위해 온풍기 및 온수보일러, 보온등, 보온상자 등을 이용하고 있었으나 돈사의 시설형태가 개방형돈사이기 때문에 난방비가 많이 소요되는 것으로 나타나 난방 에너지 절감을 위한 연구가 필요하며, 축분의 효율적인 처리를 위해 양돈농가에서 발생된 축분은 발효하여 경지에 환원하는 것을 기계화모델로 설정하였다.

Purpose: Fermented feedstuffs have been found to improve productivity, reduce manure odor, and increase immunity. However, because there is not a commercialized pelletizing system for fermented total mixed ration (TMR) for pig feeding in Korea, a pelletizing system using TMR fermented feed was developed. Methods: The particle size, density, and volumetric density of the TMR feeds used in the test were measured. The pellet durability index (PDI, %) value of the pelletized TMR feed based on its moisture content, and the amount of pellet production based on the rotation speed of the compression roller were measured. Results: The test materials, TMR1 and TMR2, were approximately compressed to 387 kg/m3 with 18.2% (w.b.) and 544 kg/m3 with 22.2% (w.b.), respectively. Throughout this pellet molding test, the moisture content from 15 to 20% (w.b.) of mixture feedstuffs, including fermented forage, could be used for pellet molding. Based on the results, a small-scale pellet molding system of fermented TMR was designed and manufactured for pig farms. As rotation speed increased, the throughput increased, whereas the moisture content decreased by approximately 2% (w.b.) because of pellet molding. The best yield of pellets with 94.2% PDI was of 536 kg/h at 135 rpm rotation speed. Conclusions: Although the throughput of the prototype increased as the rotation speed increased, it was difficult to operate because of the greater noise and the lower PDI (%) at the higher rotation speed of the pellet molding rotor. It was found that the best production of pellets using the prototype was 536 kg/h having a PDI of 94.2% or more at a rotation speed of 135 rpm.

Organic agriculture seeks sustainable agriculture. Organic agriculture is based on circulating agriculture of a family farm unit. However, as of the end of 2016, only 33 out of the total organic farming farms were implementing Crop-Livestock cycling organic farming. The reason seems to be a matter of income after all. The optimal size combination refers to the scale by which family farms can maintain their quality of life while engaging in farming activities. In other words. it is a farm scale that maintains optimal income through stable labor costs. In the meantime, there has been no previous study on the optimal economical combination of Crop-Livestock cycling farming. Choi (2016) analyzed whether the economies of scope (EOS) were realized in the combined production by using the management data of the farmers who practiced Crop-Livestock cycling organic farming for four years. As a result, it has been revealed that the EOS measurement value is 0 or more so the economies of scope are being realized. Therefore, the purpose of this empirical analysis is to identify farm incomes under this circumstance. It is assumed that the optimum production is achieved by balancing the total income curve and the total cost curve in the optimal scale production range. The results of the analysis are as follows. First, the income after the conversion to Crop-Livestock cycling farming was 44,789,280 won, the sum of the seedling-livestock sector, which was 17,873,120 won higher when the non-Crop-Livestock cycling farming was assumed. The same is true for 2014 and 2015. The reason for this is that pig droppings were composted from organic seedlings, and the cost of selling pork was 150,000 won/per pig more expensive even though the manufacturing cost of organic feeds was higher than the purchasing cost. Secondly, this study simulated the result that the economic index varies when the farm size combination is changed by the farm size of 100% standard (S100) as of 2014. S130 is the increase in size from 100% of 2014, whereas S30 is the result of 3ha crop and 66 livestock (pigs). As a result of this simulation, Crop-Livestock cycling farming income decreased more than non-Crop-Livestock cycling farming as the farm size decreased, whereas the income decreased as the farm size increased. When the size was reduced below S50, the income tended to decrease. In this situation, EOS changed in the same direction. The results showed that when the farming size was reorganized and reduced to 50% compared to 2014, the income and income difference was the highest. At the same time, economies of scope (EOS) were the highest at 0.12985. In other words, it was found that the income of farm houses in a family farm unit sector was the best in the combination of 1.5ha crop agriculture and 110 livestock (pigs).

Pigs' aggressive behavior represents one of the common issues that occur inside pigpens and which harm pigs' health and welfare, resulting in a financial burden to farmers. Continuously monitoring several pigs for 24 hours to identify those behaviors manually is a very difficult task for pig caretakers. In this study, we propose a lightweight video-based approach for monitoring pigs' aggressive behavior that can be implemented even in small-scale farms. The proposed system receives sequences of frames extracted from an RGB video stream containing pigs and uses MnasNet with a DM value of 0.5 to extract image features from pigs' ROI identified by predefined annotations. These extracted features are then forwarded to a lightweight LSTM to learn temporal features and perform behavior recognition. The experimental results show that our proposed model achieved 0.92 in recall and F1-score with an execution time of 118.16 ms/sequence.

The significance of this study was to analyze the quality value of organic livestock pork for the first time based on the results of managing and testing the cycling organic farming of black pork and vegetables within farm for two years. The results of analysis could be summarized as follows. First, the pork of experimental group with crop-livestock cycling farming showed the excellent quality and high consumer preference compared to the control group of general pork or pork from non-crop-livestock cycling organic farming. In the content ratio of Omega-3 as a representative essential fatty acid, it was 1.46 that was about 2.8 times more than general pork (0.52). In case of Omega-6, it had about 2.5 times more than general pork. Especially, the U/S ratio value which was the content ratio of Unsaturated Fatty Acid (UFA, U) of Saturated Fatty Acid (SFA, S), was largely shown in pork (2.93) from cycling organic farming. Second, it would be necessary to maintain the economies of scope shown in crop-livestock cycling organic farming, and the high quality value of livestock products. For this, there should be a value chain model that could realize the economies of scope and economies of scale at the same time based on scaling and diversification through cooperative organization between farmers. Through this, it would be possible to establish a cycling model called 'community cooperative agriculture' by forming local internal markets through cooperation of production-processing and integration of distribution-sale-consumption. For the managerial activation of this cooperative organization, the government should promote/support the small crop-livestock cycling organic farming cooperative organization in local unit. For securing the reliability of crop-livestock cycling organic agricultural products and crop-livestock cycling organic livestock products, it would be necessary to review the introduction of Participatory Guarantee System (PGS).

본 연구는 농업의 산업화 과정에서 국가의 농업정책이 지역적 전문화(specialization)에 어떠한 영향을 미쳤는가를 영국을 사례로 하여 분석한 논문이다. 1950년대 이후 영국은 영농규모의 집중화(concentration), 보장 가격의 설시, 조건불리지역 사업을 통해 농업의 산업화를 촉진하는 정책을 실시하였으며 이로 인해 농업의 지역적인 전문화가 발생하였다. 작물의 전문화는 밀과 보리 및 종유(oilseed)를 중심으로 나타났다. 밀의 경우 EU 가입이후 상대적으로 부족하면서 공동농업정정책(Common Agricultural Policy)에서 높은 보장가격을 지지받음에 따라 동부 잉글랜드 지방의 토양이 비옥한 지역을 중심으로 전문화가 이루어졌다. 보리의 경우 사료작물로 재배되면서 가축사육지원정책의 영향을 받아 가축사육의 전문화가 이루어진 지역에서 집중 재배되었다. 종유의 지역적 전문화는 식품가공업이 발달과 함께 품종 개발, 가공 및 저장기술의 발달로 남부지역에서 북부지역으로 확산되었다. 가축 사육은 작물 재배보다 전문화가 뚜렷하였다. 특히 1970년대부터 실시된 조건불리지역 사업은 영농조건이 불리한 영국 서부 구릉지 지역에 전문화를 유발시키면서 환경보전론자들의 비판을 받기도 하였다. 또한 1980년대 중반이후 우유생산량을 줄이기 위한 쿼터제도에서 농민들간에 쿼터량을 거래할 수 있게 함으로서, 동부지역의 농민이 서부지역에 이를 양도함으로서 전문화는 더욱 촉진되었다. 이와 같은 연구 결과는 농업정책이 현시적으로 혹은 암묵적으로 공간적인 측면을 지니게 되어 농업의 지역적 분화를 유발함을 의미한다.
