Standard livestock data showed distinct variations. The on-farm assessment brought up weak-points in hygienic, nutritional and animal health management. Gathered data will be used to develop stock customized optimisation strategies with the aim to achieve superior health standards, including an assembly of cost- benefit relationships.</mods:abstract><mods:classification authority="lcc">  Animal husbandry</mods:classification><mods:classification authority="lcc"> Health and welfare</mods:classification><mods:originInfo><mods:dateIssued encoding="iso8061">2007</mods:dateIssued></mods:originInfo><mods:genre>Conference paper, poster, etc. </mods:genre></mods:mods>
