Abstract

In recent years, with the adjustment of agricultural structure, as the rapid development of animal husbandry in China main pig breeding industry, and continuously improve the efficiency of production, pork production continues to increase, and played a positive role in order to meet domestic residents pork consumption and enhance the living standards of residents. At the same time, with the development of pig breeding scale, intensive pig farms concentrated manure dirt dramatic increase in the formulation of government non-point source pollution control policy, laws and regulations, construction has lagged far behind the pace of development in the pig industry , the pig breeding Waste gradually become one of the important source of environmental pollution. How to mitigate environmental problems brought about by the large-scale development of the pig industry to promote the coordinated development of the pig industry and the environment is an inherent requirement of the sustainable development of China's economic and social. In this paper, production of pig breeding specialized households behavior as the research object, trying to figure out the main factors to affect the behavior of household waste disposal options, and I hope to be able to review and summarize the domestic and foreign scholars on the basis of research on pig breeding industry waste treatment government pig breeding pollution prevention policy development, and provide certain theoretical basis. Firstly, the use of the 1996-2008 macroeconomic statistics on the trend of the evolution of China's pig industry, to discuss the current situation and the plight of waste management, found in small-scale pig breeding specialized households lag behind the level of waste treatment is a bottleneck restricting the pig industry environmental governance . On the basis of macroeconomic analysis, I Wuxue City, Hubei Province as the study area, face-to-face interviews with 150 randomly selected from four different townships pig breeding specialized households, and 134 valid questionnaires and econometric analysis using multivariate logistic model, econometric analysis found: the number of households engaged in agricultural labor, herd sizes pig distance and the nearest residential area, the digester volume, farmers gender, farmers whether part-time farming or fish farming and whether digesters construction subsidies for farmers waste processing choice behavior has a significant impact. Then, for the relationship between feeding scale waste disposal, I further order logistic regression model in-depth analysis of the determinants of farmers select the size of the different feeding behavior, found specification piglets sales market, reasonable arrangements for training and appropriate to guide the way of the local organization Association can effectively control the local pig breeding large-scale trends, thereby affecting the local pig breeding industry waste governance level to resolve the problem of the pig breeding industry waste pollution based on the empirical analysis results, I propose the following policy revelation: (1) by strengthening air pollution and water pollution caused by the publicity pig waste instance, to improve farmers' understanding of the pollution hazards, to enhance farmers environmental awareness. (2) to promote the rational allocation of feed methods and efficient breeding technology and good abatement method to improve the infrastructure and other science popularization. (3) environmental pressures brought about by the introduction of high-quality seed to standardize the the piglets sales market, reasonable arrangements for pollution control training and appropriate guide local organization Association to advocate appropriate scale farming, slowing the excessive development of large-scale pig industry. (4) the effect of perfect the digester construction of subsidies policy to enhance methane fermentation technology applications.
