英国农业及园艺局猪肉部门将应对猪咬尾症

　　UK - The challenge of tailbiting is one with which the industry has been grappling for years with no solution found. Now, AHDB Pork, the RSPCA (RSPCA Assured) and the University of Helsinki have joined forces to produce and distribute a questionnaire aimed at tackling tailbiting.It is going to producers in both the UK and in Finland where tail docking is banned to give us some valid comparisons and we are seeking the help of pig producers in the UK to provide some data.AHDB Pork health and welfare projects manager Katja Stoddart said: All results and findings will be reported anonymously to provide better information to producers on tail management and tail-related issues.

　　猪咬尾症是猪肉行业向来饱受多年的问题。目前还没有解决方案。英国农业及园伊⒅(ADHB)猪肉部门、英国防止虐待动物协会(RSPCA)与赫尔辛基(Helsinki)大学合力联手制作并分发调查问卷，旨在解决猪咬尾症。调查的生产商主要分布在英国和芬兰，这两个国家都禁止尾巴对接。因此，研究机构能够得到有效的比较。他们目前正在找求英国猪肉生产商的帮助以得到相关数据。英国农业及园伊⒅生猪健康和福利项目尽职人凯蒂亚·斯托达特(Katja Stoddart)说：“所有相关猪尾管理与问题的结果在报道时都将会使提供信息的猪肉生产商匿名。”
