时建忠认为，动物福利理念自从国外介绍到我国以来，主要经历了引入、认识、发展三个阶段，现已进入到推广应用阶段。

In Shi's Opinion, since the introduction of concepts in animal welfare from abroad, we gradually got aware of and further developed the concepts. Currently, we have come to the stage of extension and application.

时建忠强调，进入动物福利的推广应用阶段后，需要关注以下几个方面：

Shi emphasized that to popularize and develop animal welfare, we'd better pay attention to the following aspects.

一是动物福利更应关注农场动物福利。农场动物数量占据地球上整个动物的绝大多数，是动物福利的焦点，提升动物福利，重点要提升农场动物福利。动物福利实施的对象有很多，不同动物福利的标准、要求及养殖的目的也不一样，如果不分动物，泛谈动物福利，不利于动物福利的传播和推广。我国在2020年公布了《国家畜禽遗传目录》，这个目录涉及到17个传统畜禽和16种特种畜禽。在我国，农场动物指的就是这33种畜禽。

First and foremost, more significance should be attached to welfare of farm animals. Farm animals, accounting for most animals on earth, should be the priority of animal welfare promotion. Animal welfare covers different kinds of animals, with their respective standards and requirements in animal welfare and breeding purposes. Thus it would be unfavorable for the popularization and extension if animal welfare were talked in generalities. In 2020, China released National Breed List of Livestock and Poultry, which covers 17 kinds of traditional and 16 kinds of special livestock and poultry, and all 33 kinds are referred to as farm animals in China.

二是农场动物福利的理念被更多的科学实验和科学数据所支撑。依据农场动物福利的五项原则，通过营养调控、环境调控、疾病防治来提高动物自身的免疫能力，养出健康的畜禽，以达到减少疫苗、药物使用，提高产品质量的目的，这个也越来越被大家所关注和重视。未来开展的研究工作，除了继续提供更多科学数据支撑之外，应该继续做更多的关于经济效益的研究和分析，这样才能够被农场动物养殖者所接受。

Second, there should be more scientific research and data to support concepts in farm animal welfare. It has been increasingly recognized that, in accordance with the five principles of farm animal welfare, by nutrition adjustment, improvement of environment and prevention and treatment of diseases, farm animals will get stronger immunity and grow healthier, the need of vaccination and medication will decrease, and consequently the quality of products will be enhanced. Future research should not only continue to provide more scientific data support, but also, taking the need of farm animal breeders into consideration, attach more weight to research and analyses on economic effects, so as to raise the acceptance of breeders.

三是农场动物福利更加聚焦生产优质安全的畜禽产品。养殖农场动物是一个商品生产的过程，产品卖得出去，卖得出去才能有效益。产品要卖得出去，就得满足消费者对产品质量的要求，所以生产优质安全的畜禽产品，是养殖者赖以生存的法宝，产品不安全、质量不合格，所谓的农场动物福利就无从谈起，产品质量是养殖者、消费者和动物福利倡导者追求一致的目标。

Meanwhile, more attention should be paid to the production of high-quality livestock and poultry products. As commodity, the products of farm animal breeding need to be sold for the sake of economic performance. To accomplish that, we should supply products that exceed the quality requirements from consumers. Thus the safety and quality are fundamental to and should be prioritized in the production process. Farm animal welfare would be castle in the air were there no safety or quality. There is no doubt that quality is the common pursuit of breeders, consumers and animal welfare advocates.

四是农场动物福利的评价更加多样化，要满足养殖者、消费者、动物福利倡导者等各方面的需求，不宜以一概全。动物福利评价的标准、方法有多种多样，但评价农场动物福利的好与坏，一个最简单的标准，是生产畜禽产品的质量好与坏，对于养殖者来讲，这也是最简单也是最根本的标准。如果只谈福利，不谈产品的质量，养殖者是不会接受的。我们只有提高了产品质量，才能满足养殖者、消费者和动物福利倡导者共同追求的目标。

Besides, instead of over-generalizing, all parts should be taken into account in the assessment of farm animal welfare. There exist various standards and methods of the assessment of animal welfare, but one simple yet inevitable standard is product quality, which is also the simplest but most fundamental criterion. From the perspective of breeders, there is no talking of animal welfare without the consideration of quality. As mentioned above, only if the product quality is enhanced can we achieve the common goals of all parties.

五是农场动物福利更加关注养殖者的效益。动物福利是人赋予的，农场动物福利的高低是养殖者决定的，经济效益是农场动物福利倡导者必须考虑的问题。农场动物是人工繁殖的，目的是为了获得效益，经济效益是农场生存的基础，没有经济效益，就没有农场的存在，谈论动物福利就成为一句空话。要让养殖者接受动物福利理念，必须考虑他们的经济效益。

Furthermore, the interest of breeders should also be included in the improvement of farm animal welfare. What human beings to animal welfare is what breeders to farm animal welfare. It's realistic to acknowledge that economic performance shouldn't be neglected by farm animal welfare advocators. Being artificially reproduced, farm animals are bred to make profits. Noticeably, farms are sustained by economic basis. Without economic support, animal welfare would fall into a speech with moonshine. Thus it can be concluded that we must think over economic effects before getting breeders to accept the concepts in animal welfare.

六是动物福利在中国通过几十年的发展，现在到了一个大规模的推广应用阶段，要让自愿自觉接受的人越来越多，推广应用的规模更大、更广，我们现在推广的动物福利特别是农场动物福利，应该是现代畜牧业下的农场动物福利。现代畜牧业是资源节约、环境友好、质量安全、持续高效的畜牧业，我们要实施现代畜牧业的农场动物福利，就要满足现代畜牧业的这四个基本特征。

Moreover, we should keep up to date. After decades of development of animal welfare, China is marching into the stage of popularization and application on a large scale. To get widespread voluntary acceptance and further promotion and application of concepts in animal welfare and especially farm animal welfare, we should base the publicity and promotion of these concepts on modern livestock and poultry. When referring to modernness, we adhere to the principles of resource saving, environment friendliness, quality safety, sustainability and high efficiency. To put farm animal welfare in modern livestock and poultry into practice, the four aforementioned characteristics should be met.

在我国，持续高效一个重要的内容是保障畜禽产品的有效供给，中国人的饭碗要端在自己手里面，这个饭碗不仅有粮食，也包括畜禽产品。所以说现代畜牧业下的农场动物福利，是以确保畜产品有效供给的农场动物福利，这是现代畜牧业的首要任务，是以提高畜产品质量为根本标准的农场动物福利，这是实施农场动物福利的主要目的，是以保障养殖者经济效益为基础的农场动物福利，这是实施农场动物福利的前提。

In our country, a crucial part of sustainability and high efficiency is to ensure the effective supply of livestock and poultry products. The Chinese people's food supply, be it grain or livestock and poultry products, must remain firmly in their own hands. Therefore, from now on, to develop and improve farm animal welfare in modern livestock and poultry, we should safeguard the effective supply of livestock and poultry products, which is the primary task of this industry segment; we should take the enhancement of quality of livestock and poultry products as the fundamental standard, which is the major objective of farm animal welfare; we should also regard the breeders' economic benefits as the foundation, which is the prerequisite of implementing farm animal welfare.
