abstract: Content:

Feeding of livestock in organic production systems was discussed in four different groups: beef production, dairy production, pig production and poultry production.

A. Beef production
The general consensus was that most of these problems require solutions on management and systems level, rather than further nutritional research.
Research and development needs are described.

B. Dairy production
The discussion on health and welfare related problems in dairy feeding focused on many issues.
Some management solutions are given.
Research and development needs are demonstrated.

C. Pig production
Research and development needs are demonstrated.
 
D. Poultry production
Potential solutions to these problems were suggested.
Research and development needs are displayed.
