台灣活化休耕地種植紅燕麥之可行性分析

Abstract

近年來氣候異常，造成國際糧食供應不穩定，反觀國內農地休耕，政府每年動支百億元輔導費用，未充分利用農地價值，應設法改善。國內草食動物之生產成本中，飼料成本向為最大支出項目，約占總生產成本之40∼75％，其中芻料成本約占35∼50％。2013年規劃了「國內各地區適合栽種之芻料作物種類及栽種時期」作為推廣牧草以活化休耕地之參考。基此，本研究主要在探討活化休耕地種植紅燕麥進行可行性分析。 本論文首先透過文獻回顧，瞭解台灣農業休耕的歷程與現況，及瞭解過去台灣種植紅燕麥的情形。亦就專家訪談內容、實驗數據、營養成分及生產效益進行分析，研究結果顯示，2013年在活化休耕地已有顯著成果，在栽種之芻料作物種類亦著重在過去熟悉草種，根據營養成分及生產效益分析結果紅燕麥皆優於其他草種。 若政府以本研究主題紅燕麥作為芻料作物之建議，使休耕地活化有多一項選擇，亦能讓國產紅燕麥牧草質與量提升，增加農民收益，以利於國內酪農產業之發展。

Global climate changes in recent years, making the international food supply unstable; on the other hand, our government spends more than ten billions NT dollars on the domestic agricultural land fallow policy which underutilizes agricultural land value annually. As a result of it, the study seeks ways to improve this situation. Take domestic production of herbivorous animals for example, feed costs are the largest expenditure item, accounting for about 40 to 75 percent of the total production cost, and forage cost accounts for about 35 to 50%. In 2013, the government has worked on 'planning domestic areas suitable for planting forage crops and planting Period.' as the promotion to activate the fallow areas. Based on this, this study is to investigate and analyze the feasibility of planting red oat as a way to activate the fallow land. The first part in this study are the literature review understanding Taiwan's agricultural history, current status of fallow, and red oats planting situation. Also the expert interviews, experimental data, and the production efficiency are mentioned in the latter part. By these analyses, research results show that activation of fallow land has been significant achievements in planting red oats for forage crop species better than other grasses in 2013. If the Government could take the research topic of planning red oat for forage crops as a workable option to activate fallow land. It would make domestic red oat’s both quality and quantities improve and help facilitate the development of the domestic dairy industry.
