Home Organic Program Organic Certification Manual Table of Contents Organic Livestock Production IV. Organic Livestock Health Care Practice Standards. 1. The livestock producer must establish preventative health care to the animals to ensure the health and well being of the animal, including: a. Selection of species and types of livestock made as to provide natural resistance to diseases and parasites and site-specific suitability to environment. b. Providing a feed ration that meets the nutritional needs (protein and/or amino acids, energy, minerals, vitamins, and fiber for ruminants) appropriate to the species and life stages of the animal. NOTE: Species-specific nutrient requirements in feedstuffs are outlined in the current manual of the American Association of Feed Control Officials (AAFCO). 2. Providing appropriate housing, pasture conditions, and sanitation practices to minimize the occurrence of diseases and parasites. 3. Providing opportunity for exercise, freedom of movement, and reduction of stress appropriate to species and life stage of the animal. 5. Administering all preventative vaccines and other biologics dictated for species.

An Evaluation of "Indexing" Welfare in Farm Animals Eberhard von Borell Institute of Animal Breeding and Husbandry, Martin-Luther-University Halle-Wittenberg, Adam-Kuckhoff-Str. 35, D-06108 Halle, Germany. Welfare assessment and of on-farm animal welfare index systems The welfare, health and management of farm animals are relevant issues that have an impact on the success of the producer in the market and need to be considered in order to increase consumer acceptance of animal production in the near future. Criteria for the assessment of farm animal housing have been proposed by several groups and minimal standards for animal welfare are already implemented in the legislation of most European countries (as reviewed by von Borell, 1996). These minimal requirements implemented by legislation do not relate to all farm animal species or production stages. For example, there is no specific EU council directive on the minimal housing requirements for dairy and beef cattle. Based on the TGI concept of BARTUSSEK, another assessment system was developed by Sundrum et al. (1994) as a contribution for a state competition, providing a guideline for animal welfare friendly housing of laying hens, calves and pigs. This concept includes 60-70 criteria that are assessed for 7 functional classes with emphasis on prerequisites for the performance of goal directed behaviours and factors that have an impact on animal health. A maximum of 200 points can be assigned, ranging from to 200 (see Tab. 1). This concept allows a repeated scoring of special housing features in multiple categories, which partly explains the relative high scores. Intensive housing systems such as housing of fattening pigs in indoor pens on slatted floors can therefore never exceed a certain score (in this example about 120 points), even when aspects like health and care are optimal.

Sustainable Livestock Production The aim of this LINK programme is to initiate collaborative, pre-competitive research and technological development projects so that UK livestock production can maintain its economic competitiveness - with due regard for animal health and welfare, and environmental concerns - thereby contributing to both the wealth and the Health of the Nation. The priority areas of the programme are: Genetic approaches to improving efficiency and quality of UK livestock production. This will include research to improve the quality of the product to the consumer (e.g. milk, meat or fibre), to reduce pollution (by optimising feed digestion and use, thereby minimising waste products) and to improve disease resistance. The genetic potential of rare breeds will be harnessed, where appropriate; Improvement of animal health and welfare in sustainable systems.

III. Emerging Social, Environmental, Health and Welfare Issues on the Brazilian Livestock Sector 3.1 Social equity and health - effect of changes on small-scale producers As to the profile of the Brazilian rural zone, some data can be mentioned which can be analyzed under the small producers' perspective. The last Agricultural Census in Brazil was carried through in 1996 and the following tables show some of the results. We notice that between the 40s and the mid-90s, there was an increase in the total number of farms (Table 3.1). Table 3.1 Number of farms. Brazil - Census of Agriculture. IBGE Year Total Less than 10 ha 10 to less than 100 ha 100 to less than 1.000 ha 1.000 less 10.000 ha Over 10.000 ha Source: Census of Agriculture, IBGE. The highest amounts of properties are concentrated in categories sized up to 100 hectares, and most especially less than 10 hectares. In percentage, the participation of the properties of up to 10 hectares increased from 34.4% to 49.4%, whereas the ones from 10 to 100 hectares decreased from 51.2% to 39.4% (Table 3.2). There was an increase in the number of properties with more than 100 hectares, although their overall participation has decreased. This information must be analyzed considering the area of the properties of these size categories, presented in Tables 3.3 and 3.4. In the analyzed period, the area of the farms in the country also increased. The farms of 100 up to 1000 are the ones occupying larger areas. In 1995, the total area taken by farms of up to 100 hectares was only about 21.7% of the national total farming area, although it corresponded to 88.9% of the amount of farms.
