Abstract

In organic farming, one objective is to achieve animals wellbeing through animal welfare oriented husbandry and appropriate use. A complete exploitation of the performance potential, entirely possible by neglecting these limits, is consciously rejected. Curtailing freedom of movement (keeping animals tied inside the stable, keeping animals in stables throughout the year), sensory deprivation (environmental stimuli such as light, weather), and unsocial ways of husbandry, not allowing any contact with animals of the same species, or forcing too close a contact, are not permitted in organic farming. Furthermore, animals are not adapted to husbandry conditions by removal of horns, shortening of beaks docking of tails, or cutting of teeth. Instead, husbandry conditions are adapted to the animals.
