林下经济养鸡断喙与否的探索与研究

Exploration and Research on Beak Trimming in Understory Poultry Farming

摘要: 林下经济养鸡作为一种生态型养殖模式，通过充分利用林下自然资源，为鸡群提供多元化天然饲料及适宜的光照与活动环境，显著提升禽肉与禽蛋的营养品质，在实现经济效益的同时兼顾生态价值，已成为我国特色养殖产业的重要发展方向。然而，该模式在实际应用中仍面临啄癖防控技术不成熟、养殖体系标准化程度低等现实问题。本文基于现有研究成果，系统梳理鸡断喙技术的应用与发展历程，从鸡群行为习性、养殖经济效益、动物福利、产品营养品质四个维度，对林下经济养鸡是否断喙进行分析，结合林下环境对鸡群啄癖行为的调控措施，提出替代断喙的养殖优化管理措施，为林下养鸡从业者提供科学的技术参考与决策依据。

Abstract: Understory poultry farming, as an ecological farming model, leverages forest resources to provide diverse natural feed, optimal lighting, and suitable activity environments for chickens. This approach significantly enhances the nutritional quality of poultry meat and eggs while balancing economic benefits with ecological value, establishing itself as a key development direction for China’s specialty farming industry. However, practical implementation still faces challenges such as immature pecking behavior prevention techniques and low standardization within farming systems. This paper systematically reviews the application and development of beak trimming techniques based on existing research. It analyzes the necessity of beak trimming in forest-based poultry farming from four dimensions: flock behavioral characteristics, economic efficiency, animal welfare, and product nutritional quality. By integrating environmental control measures for pecking behavior within forest settings, the study proposes optimized management practices as alternatives to beak trimming. This provides scientific technical references and decision-making support for practitioners in forest-based poultry farming.
