| The main dietary challenge for poultry producers is ensuring that feed fulfills the nutrient requirements of poultry, in particular with regards to protein and the correct amino acid profile. This is a particular challenge for organic poultry producers as the use of synthetic amino acids is not allowed. There has been a derogation from the EU Organic Regulatory Board to allow organic pig and poultry producers to include up to 5% non-organic feed within their rations to assist in meeting the nutritional requirements of the animals. This derogation was due to finish at the end of December 2014 but has now been extended to 31 December 2017 when it will become compulsory under EU Regulations (EC) no 889/2008 to provide all organic livestock with feed derived... |

| The derogation from the EU Organic Regulatory Board to allow organic pig and poultry producers to include up to 5% non-organic feed within their rations was due to finish at the end of December 2014. This has now been extended to 31 December 2017 when it will become compulsory under EU Regulations (EC) no 889/2008 to provide all organic livestock with feed derived from organic origin. A further requirement of the regulation is that at least 20% of the feed should originate from the farm unit or if this is not possible from the same region. The organic regulations also dictate that roughage, fresh or dried fodder, or silage be added to the daily ration for poultry. In addition, poultry must be given access to pasture to complement their dietary requirements... |

| The derogation from the EU Organic Regulatory Board to allow organic pig and poultry producers to include up to 5% non-organic feed within their rations was due to finish at the end of December 2014. This has now been extended to 31 December 2017 when it will become compulsory under EU Regulation (EC) no 889/2008 to provide all organic livestock with feed derived from 100% organic origins. The Regulation also requires pigs on organic farms to have access to materials they can manipulate to satisfy their behavioural need to forage and to displace abnormal aggressive behaviours such as tail biting. This guide discusses the role roughage can play in addressing the nutritional and foraging needs of pigs in organic systems. |
