Erfahrungen mit dem Einsatz von Tiergesundheitsplänen - Ansprüche und Nutzungserfahrungen bei 60 Bio-Betrieben

Summary

In organic farming claims to guarantee animal health are not always realised. The
implementation of animal health plans is often regarded as an appropriate answer. To
prove the efficiency of animal health plans they have to be evaluated in organic farms.
A social study therefore was integrated into German projects which deal with animal
health plans in poultry, dairy, and pig husbandry. The social study has examined the
acceptance of animal health plans by focussing to the attitudes of farmers as well as
to their judgement of their practical experiences with these plans.
