Abstract

[fre] Cet article analyse la nature et l'importance des progrès techniques réalisés dans le secteur porcin belge au cours de ces dernières années, ainsi que leurs manifestations. . Deux formes de progrès y sont étudiées : (a) les progrès biologiques (génétique, 'alimentation, hygiène, lutte contre les maladies...) ont un effet sur la physiologie des animaux et se sont concrétisés principalement dans une vitesse de croissance plus élevée, une meilleure qualité de la viande des porcs de boucherie et une augmentation de la fertilité des truies reproductrices ; (b) les progrès mécaniques, consistant dans le remplacement progressif du travail manuel ipar des processus mécanisés, ont considérablement augmenté la productivité de la main-d'œuvre. . En conclusion, l'Etat est intervenu de plus en plus dans 'le financement de la recherche, laquelle s'est révélée extrêmement rentable. [eng] The technical progress in the Belgian pig sector, 1950-70 - This paper analyses the nature and impacts of technology on the Belgian pig sector for the last twenty years, so as the improvements which have resulted from it. . Two types of progress are studied : (a) biological progress (genetics, nutrition, health...) which have an impact on physiology of animals and which have been materialized mainly by an higher rate of growth, a better meat quality on slaughter pigs and a higher rate of fertility of the breeding sows ; (b) mechanical progress, consisting in the repTa- cement of handwork by mechanical processes, have considerably increased the productivity of labor. . In conclusions, the Government has financed a growing part of research expenses, which have been highly profitable.
