Abstract

Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine challenges and opportunities in ensuring the welfare of livestock during transportation in Nigeria Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries. Findings: The study identified challenges, ranging from overcrowding and rough handling to inadequate rest and water provisions, underscore the need for comprehensive interventions to address welfare concerns effectively. Additionally, contextual factors such as regulatory variability, transporter perspectives, and geographical disparities further complicate the landscape of livestock transportation welfare. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Theory of Planned Behavior & Social Exchange Theory may be used to anchor future studies on challenges and opportunities in ensuring the welfare of livestock during transportation in Nigeria. Promote the adoption of innovative technologies, such as GPS tracking, real-time monitoring systems, and automated watering and feeding systems, to improve the welfare of livestock during transportation. Advocate for the harmonization of welfare standards and regulatory frameworks across different jurisdictions to promote consistency and accountability in livestock transportation practices.
尼日利亚在运输过程中确保牲畜福利的挑战与机遇
目的:本研究旨在探讨尼日利亚在确保牲畜运输过程中的福利方面所面临的挑战和机遇:本研究采用案头研究法。案头研究设计通常被称为二手数据收集。这主要是从现有资源中收集数据,因为与实地研究相比,它具有成本低的优势。我们目前的研究调查了已经出版的研究和报告,因为这些数据很容易通过在线期刊和图书馆获取。研究结果:研究发现了各种挑战,从过度拥挤、粗暴对待到休息和水供应不足,这些挑战突出表明有必要采取综合干预措施,以有效解决福利问题。此外,监管的多变性、运输商的观点和地域差异等背景因素也使牲畜运输福利问题变得更加复杂。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:计划行为理论和社会交换理论可用于今后对尼日利亚在确保牲畜运输过程中的福利方面所面临的挑战和机遇进行研究。推广采用创新技术,如 GPS 跟踪、实时监控系统、自动饮水和喂食系统,以改善牲畜在运输过程中的福利。倡导统一不同辖区的牲畜福利标准和监管框架,以促进牲畜运输实践的一致性和问责制。
