Abstract:
In order to clarify the influencing factors of livestock and poultry farmers’ pollution control methods in Guizhou Province, based on the questionnaire data of 1 028 livestock and poultry farmers in Guizhou Province, this study selected binary Logistic model and disordered multivariate Logistic model respectively to conduct an empirical analysis on the influencing factors of farmers’ breeding pollution control methods from the perspective of source—process—end. The results showed that discharge treatment after purification, discarding, composting and returning to the field were the main treatment methods of source, process, end links of farmer breeding. Among them, the source governance method was not complete; the process governance method was relatively backward, and the degree of resource utilization at the end was relatively high. There were differences in the factors of the adoption of treatment methods in each link, among which education level, identity attribute, breeding scale, and existence of pollution discharge regulations had significant positive impact on the adoption of treatment methods of the breeding source at the levels of 1% and 5%. Breeding types and the training of pollution control had significant negative impact at the levels of 5% and 1% respectively. Identity attribute, breeding scale, the training of breeding pollution control, and existence of pollution discharge regulations had significant positive impact on the adoption of treatment methods of the breeding process at the levels of 1% and 5%. Education level had significant negative impact at the level of 5%. At the breeding end link, gender and education level had significant positive impact on the adoption of composting treatment method of the breeding end at the level of 10%. Training of breeding pollution control and existence of pollution discharge regulations had significant negative impact at the level of 1%. Gender and existence of pollution discharge regulations had significant positive impact on the adoption of direct discharge treatment method of the breeding end at the levels of 10% and 5% respectively. Identity attribute and the distance of farms from water sources had significant negative impact at the levels of 10% and 5%. Training of breeding pollution control had significant positive impact on the adoption of land reclamation treatment method of the breeding end at the level of 1%. Breeding scale had significant negative impact at the level of 10%. Identity attribute had significant positive impact on the adoption of biogas treatment method of the breeding end at the level of 5%. Existence of pollution discharge regulations had significant negative impact at the level of 5%. The proportion of farming income had significant positive effect on the adoption of discard treatment method of the breeding end at the level of 10%. On this basis, the countermeasures and suggestions were put forward, such as improving farmers’ awareness of pollution, strengthening legislation and supervision, and appropriately increasing pollution control subsidies.
