  • Title: [Animal welfare standards in ecological animal husbandry and the possibilities of their regulation].
    Author: Sundrum A.
    Journal: Dtsch Tierarztl Wochenschr; 1993 Feb; 100(2):71-3. PubMed ID: 8462426.
    Abstract:
    There is an ethic claim to an increasing consideration of animal welfare in agricultural husbandry. To put this in practise requires the consumer's willingness to pay higher prices for food, produced according to animal's needs. A growing number of consumers is willing to do that. For the higher price the consumer expects a product-security, which guarantees processing standards by transparent criteria and inspection. Guidelines in organic agriculture regulate standards of animal welfare and environmental friendly production. Standards of animal welfare are far beyond those in protection of animals legislation. Nevertheless, they don't allow a general judgement about animal welfare in husbandry systems on organic ruled farms. A practicable and conclusive valuation-concept is necessary. It is referred to the animal needs index as a concept for valuation, which is already tested in practice.
