Transformation of gastro-intestinal parasites managment scheme in the context of suckling herd conversion to organic farming.

Summary

In a first hand, we have identified, based on the driving forces that have led to suckling farms conversion to organic farming, three mains types : The ones who have
made their conversion for the “market”, “environment” and the “holistic” conversion. In a second hand, some tensions, between organic rules and agro-food chain expectations have been highlighted by breeding practices close by organic rules limits and focussed on the knowledge, the coherence and the competencies of the conventional frame of references. Indeed, face to this conventional frame of
reference, the organic frame and its actors remain, from a conceptual and a technical point of view are not well fitted out.
