We often hear about 'human welfare', but do you know about 'animal welfare'? Why is it important? Animal welfare and human welfare are closely linked. In many places, the health and condition of animals determine whether humans can obtain a stable food supply, and the health and condition of animals depend on the care and nutrition they receive. We need to focus on animal welfare from a global perspective, as it is an indispensable part of the big puzzle, involving food safety and food security, human and animal health, environmental and ecological development, and sustainable development. Animal welfare is the shared responsibility of all government departments, communities, people who own and care about animals, civil society organizations, educational institutions, veterinarians, and scientists.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations believes that animal welfare is an important means of improving animal husbandry and health, and has made animal welfare a key area of focus for the development of the global livestock system. To this end, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is working to promote knowledge sharing, support education and training, and capacity building, facilitate the implementation of field intervention projects, and encourage responsible investment that benefits animal welfare and the healthy development of animal husbandry.
The purification effect of water microorganisms, also known as water self purification, refers to the process in which microorganisms in water oxidize and decompose (including aerobic and anaerobic decomposition) organic pollutants to purify water quality. Aerobic microorganisms can oxidize and decompose organic pollutants into simple and stable inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide, water, nitrate, and phosphate, while consuming a certain amount of dissolved oxygen. The dissolved oxygen consumed can be restored to oxygen through air diffusion on the surface of water bodies and oxygen producing photosynthesis in aquatic plants.
The biota in water bodies can also reflect the self purification process of water bodies. When water is polluted, the addition of a large amount of nutrients can lead to the proliferation of pollution tolerant microorganisms, especially heterotrophic bacteria; Juvenile mayflies, mackerel, diatoms, and other pollutants that are sensitive to pollution will disappear. After a period of purification, protozoa that mainly ingest bacteria can develop in water bodies. Algae that feed on inorganic nutrients, such as certain blue-green algae, can only proliferate in large quantities and dominate after pollutants are completely degraded and sufficient nitrogen and phosphorus are released. Through these processes, water quality is restored to clean, and the structure of biological communities in water is also restored to normal.
According to the self purification laws of different water bodies, fully utilize the self purification capacity of water bodies, arrange production layout reasonably while ensuring that water bodies are not polluted, reduce the burden of artificial treatment of organic pollutants, and control pollution in the most economical way.
