| Organic farming attempts to ensure animal welfare on the basis of preventive measures. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of the production system on animal welfare of dairy cows in organic and conventional farms. The results of the application of the Welfare Quality® protocol for dairy cows shows significant differences between organic and conventional farms while concurrently disclosing considerable differences between farms of the same production system. To further improve the animal welfare situation in organic farming and especially to better include animal health issues, result based components should be included into the current (purely action-oriented) EU organic farming regulation. |

| Regulations in organic farming and in animal welfare policies are action-oriented: they refer to resources such as space allowance and management, i.e. access to pasture. With this approach, the prerequisites for the exercise of normal behaviour can be created; but direct impacts on animal health and welfare are largely left out. The aim of our project is to develop a concept for a result-oriented approach to improve animal welfare in the framework of organic farming and the EUs rural development programmes. One of the challenges is the selection of suitable indicators. To select indicators which address major welfare-problems in dairy farming, a two-phased sampling process was carried out. First, scientists from Germany, Switzerland and Austria (n = 20)... |
