| Two different methods to reveal body condition scores (BCS), called independent BCS (iBCS) and dependent BCS (dBCS; similar to the method of Ferguson et al. 1994), were applied in 1111 Swiss Brown dairy cows. Ultrasound measurement of the back fat thickness (BFT) served as validation method. Aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of assessor’s subjective impression of the overall appearance of the cow on the scoring process. With 67.3% of the BFT variance, the dBCS with its consideration of the overall impression of the cow and its more open approach was more suitable to predict the subcutaneous fat appositions. The strictly formularized iBCS could only explain 47.3% of the BFT variance. The pin bone region was identified to cause the biggest... |

| Organic milk production varies due to topographical and structural farm conditions, but very little information is available about this variation in Germany. The aim of this study was to identify typical major farm types (MFTs) of German organic dairy farms and to describe their farm, herd, and management characteristics. Based on data from 204 organic dairy farms from previous studies with representative samples, fourMFTs were identified by cluster analysis. Cluster-criteria were herd size, milk yield, region, and housing system. Identified MFTs were (A) medium-scale herds with low-tomedium milk yield, (B) small-scale herds with low milk yield, (C) large scale herds with high milk yield, and (D) medium-scale herds in Southern Germany with medium milk... |

| Die Gesundheit und Konstitution der Tiere ist ein entscheidender Faktor für die Ökonomie, Ökologie und Ethik von Rinderhaltungen. Ein Bewertungssystem zur vergleichbaren Erfassung der Krankheitsanfälligkeit der Einzeltiere einer Kuhherde anhand von Daten, die größtenteils auf den Milchviehbetrieben vorhanden sind, ist entwickelt worden. Hierfür wurden zunächst alle Krankheiten der Kühe einer Herde in einem definierten Zeitraum von 2 Jahren aus Stallbuchaufzeichnungen (Krankheiten und Belegdaten), Tierarztrechnungen und MLP-Daten aufgenommen und in die Hauptkrankheitsgruppen Mastitis, Erkrankungen des Bewegungsapparates, Stoffwechselstörungen und Fruchtbarkeitsprobleme eingeteilt. Dabei wurden nur konstitutionsbedingte Krankheiten gezählt, nicht aber z.B.... |

| Loose housing systems are commonly designed for cows without horns. Farmers keeping horned herds are facing increased risks of injuries among the cows. Interviews were carried out on farms with 62 horned dairy herds in order to collect practical evidence on problems and suitable measures related to the keeping of loose housed horned cows. Most farmers see the feeding area, the cubicles and the waiting area before milking as problem areas. A possibility to securely lock all cows in the feeding rack and an easy retreat from the rack is regarded important. The cubicles should offer an exit to the front, which can be used by cows when attacked from behind. Generous space allowances in the waiting area as well as in the whole stable were recommended.... |

| Background: This study investigated the extent of traditional knowledge and use of homemade herbal remedies for livestock by farmers in 3 Swiss cantons (Aargau, Zurich, Schaffhausen). The study focused on organic farms. Methods: At 21 farms, 24 farmers aged 36–83 years were interviewed with a semi-structured, detailed questionnaire. For each homemade herbal remedy, the plant species, mode of preparation, source of knowledge, and application were gathered. Satisfaction of the farmers with the application was estimated with the aid of a visual analogue scale. Results: Information on a total of 165 homemade remedies was collected of which 123 contained a single plant species only (homemade mono-species herbal remedies, HMHR). The 123 HMHR were selected for... |

| Continuous development is needed within the farm to reach the goal of good animal health and welfare in organic livestock farming. The very different conditions between countries call for models that are relevant for different farming types and can be integrated into local practice and be relevant for each type of farming context. This article reviews frameworks, principles and practices for animal health and welfare planning which are relevant for organic livestock farming. This review is based on preliminary analyses carried out within a European project (acronym ANIPLAN) with participants from seven countries. The process begins with gathering knowledge about the current status within a given herd as background for making decisions and planning future... |

| Usage of mineral supplements regarding avoidance of lacks in supply (especially phosphor or selenium) and fulfilling the ideal of a closed materials cycle within a farm is controversial discussed among bio-dynamic farmers. A representative survey in Swiss and German bio-dynamic dairy farms was conducted to investigate the mineral feeding strategies of bio-dynamic farmers and the relationships between farm characteristic and usage of mineral supplements. It was shown that 30% of the dairy herds were fed without external mineral supplements whereas 97% were fed with salt. Farms in highlands, with loamy soils, a high amount of permanent grassland and lower yielding dairy cows were associated with lower use of mineral supplements. Alternatively most often... |

| This report serves as a deliverable from the ANIPLAN project, with the original title ‘Evaluation report on state of the art regarding animal health and welfare planning in the participating countries’ (Deliverable 5.1). We chose to focus on the farmers’ perspective in each country, and ask the farmers who had participated in our project how they perceived the process of animal health and welfare planning. We did that using a questionnaire which each participant used in an interview with the farmer, asking some specific questions with the aim to evaluate how the farmers had experienced the ANIPLAN approach. We found that this focus was important as a supplement to other outcomes from the project, such as reduction of medicines (Ivemeyer et al., 2011) and... |

| The distribution of automatic milking systems (AMS) on dairy farms has increased significantly worldwide since the last millennium. For organic farms in Germay, the use of this technique is increasingly interesting, as organic dairy farms often have herd sizes between 50 and 150 cows which suit best for automatic milking systems. The implementation of AMS does not only bring along changes in terms of the milking process, but also affects the entire housing system, management and feeding. AMS is often connected with a restriction of pasturing and indirectly the risk of lame cows may increase. The aim of this study was to clarify whether the use of AMS is compatible with animal welfare in organic dairy farming, paying particular attention to impacts on... |

| In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde der Einfluss der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung sowie verschiedener Managementmaßnahmen auf die Eutergesundheit der Milchviehherden von 46 Schweizer Betrieben, die am Bestandsbetreuungsprogramm mit Schwerpunkt Eutergesundheit „pro-Q“ teilnahmen, untersucht. Für die Charakterisierung der Mensch-Tier- Beziehung wurden Melkereinstellungen mittels Fragebögen, Melker- und Kuhverhalten beim Melken und die Ausweichdistanz der Kühe im Laufstall erfasst. Die Darstellung der Eutergesundheit erfolgte anhand der Milchleistungsprüfungsergebnisse der Betriebe über ein Jahr als durchschnittlicher Somatic Cell Score (SCS) und als Neuinfektionsrate. Zudem wurde über zytobakteriologische Analysen von Viertelgemelksproben aller laktierenden Kühe der... |

| 102 Kühe aus 13 Schweizer Biomilchviehbetrieben wurden in die Studie aufgenommen. In den letzten 10 Tagen vor dem Trockenstellen wurden 2 Milchproben von allen 4 Eutervierteln steril entnommen. Abhängig vom bakteriologischen Befund dieser Untersuchung und dem Resultat der klinischen Euteruntersuchung wurden die Kühe eingestuft und zufällig in drei Trockenstell-Behandlungsgruppen eingeteilt. Kühe mit chronischen Infektionen mit „Major Pathogenen“ (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus agalactiae und dysgalactiae) wurden von der Studie ausgeschlossen. Im Falle unterschiedlicher mikrobiologischer Diagnosen beider Viertelgemelksproben wurde eine dritte Milchprobe genommen. Bei negativem bakteriologischem Befund in beiden Milchproben... |

| Since 2003, the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture (FiBL) is realizing a herd health management programme (“pro-Q” project) focussing on udder health and the use of homeopathic based treatment and prevention. Aims of the project are: (1) to reduce antibiotic mastitis treatments, (2) to optimize udder health and (3) to improve longevity, measured as averaged herd lactation number. The farms get expert advice on prevention and treatment at herd- and animal-level. After 2 years, treatment recordings of the 78 investigated farms showed that antibiotic mastitis therapies were reduced from 37 to 26 treatments per 100 cows and year (equals a reduction of 28%). The mean herd lactation number increased significantly by 0.2 lactations from 3.3 to 3.5... |

| A retrospective study was performed including 54 Swiss dairy farms of an udder health extension project. The objective was to evaluate additional effects on fertility parameters in the first two project years (y1, y2) compared to the year before (y0). Of 1494 lactations 251 diagnoses associated to reproduction and obstetrics were performed (17 per 100 Lactations). Ovary disorders (29%), retentio secundinarum (25%) and metritis (20%) were the most common items. Ovary disorders could be treated by homeopathy as successful as by hormones. Uterine disorders (ret sec., metritis) were followed by significantly better fertility parameters (days to first insemination 60 vs. 84 days, calving conception interval 68 vs. 118 days) after homeopathic treatment... |

| The use of medicinal plants and other natural multicomponent remedies might be one measure to reduce the use of antibiotics in livestock. Ethnoveterinary research has the potential to identify promising natural remedies. The knowledge about remedies for livestock was collected from farmers in six central Swiss cantons, Glarus, Obwalden, Nidwalden, Schwyz, Zug and Uri. Between February and April 2013 49 interviews with 63 farmers (25 females and 38 males, aged 24–74) were conducted. We collected information on the manufacturing of 370 homemade remedies. Of these, 114 contained no plants, 26 contained a mixture of two to five plants, and 230 contained one plant species (defined as homemade single-herbal remedy report (HSHR)). These 230 HSHRs represented 68... |
