| During the presentations and discussions at the 1st ANIPLAN workshop it became apparent that there are many different approaches to disease prevention and treatment planning. These exist in a variety of structured forms, and also involve different approaches to the dialogue between farmer and advisor. The distinction between ‘an animal health plan’ and ‘animal health planning’ has also become evident (see Atkinson & Neale, 2008 in these proceedings). Whereas a plan refers to documentation, planning is understood as a process which actively involves the farmer, is based on an assessment and evaluation of a real situation and includes an explicit formulation of the farmer’s goals regarding animal health and welfare. In order to develop a single yet... |

| In the United Kingdom it is mandatory for organic livestock farms to have an animal health plan as a document providing evidence of active management of disease and building positive health (Anon 2006). Many organisations, both organic and non organic, (e.g. BCVA, Defra Compendium of UK Organic Standards, Soil Association, RSPCA Freedom Food, NDFAS, FAWL) develop, describe and use animal health planning as a part of their strategy (see Box 1). Currently, it is the presence of a regularly updated health plan document that serves as evidence that this is in place. The benefits of health plans, including animal welfare improvement, financial gain and increased farm efficacy have all been highlighted in various publications (Sibley 2000, Gray & Hovi... |

| Surgical piglet castration without pain relief has been banned in organic farming in the EU since the beginning of 2012. Alternative methods therefore need to be implemented that improve animal welfare and solve the underlying problem of boar taint. This paper explores German organic consumers' preferences for piglet castration without pain relief and three alternative methods. In an innovative approach using a multi-criteria decision making procedure, qualitative data from focus group discussions were compared with quantitative results from Vickrey auctions. Overall, participants preferred all alternatives to castration without pain relief. Different aspects influenced willingness-to-pay for the methods. Animal welfare was important for the evaluation of... |

| Livestock farming is an important part of organic farming systems, and it is an explicit goal of organic farming to ensure high levels of animal health and welfare (AHW) through proactive and appropriate management of breeding, feeding, housing and species specific husbandry. A goal in organic livestock farming is to minimise the use of veterinary medicines to improve food quality and protect the environment, and to do this by improving livestock living conditions rather than using alternative medical treatments. Key values influencing organic livestock production are naturalness, harmony at all levels of production, use and recirculation of local resources and adoption of the precautionary principle. The concepts of "positive health and welfare" are... |

| Spread of antibiotic resistance (AR) along the food-chain is a major food safety concern due to the risk of treatment failure of human foodborne infections. Can lower AR levels be claimed as a particular quality of organic pork due to the restrictions on antibiotic usage? Or will the current slaughtering of organic and conventional pigs together abolish this quality attribute? Furthermore,lack of registration of antibiotic usage in some EU member states necessitates methods for estimating the consumption (control of imprudent use) of antibiotics in organic herds. |

| Increasing pathogen resistance to antimicrobials threatens every human-being globally. Alternative methods and solutions for fighting against infectious diseases are urgently needed. Honey has been used as a traditional medicine for centuries and its antimicrobial properties have been revealed in several in vitro studies against wide variety of human pathogenic bacterial species, including antibiotic resistant strains. Research on antimicrobial activity of organic honeys is a novel approach and may lead to unknown antimicrobial mechanisms and factors. It also represents sustainable development. In the present study we show that Finnish organic honeys have antimicrobial activity against the growth of human pathogenic organisms E. coli, S. typhi, P.... |

| The biocrystallization method was standardised on carrot and wheat. With the standardised method samples from different farming systems could be successfully discriminated. For this paper, we investigated to what degree the standardised method can be adapted to other product classes like apples or Aloe vera. We found, that the sample preparation procedures must be developed for each new product whereas the conditions for the steps evaporation and crystallization as well as the evaluation of the patterns could be directly transferred. The variability as well as the factors of influence could be compared to those found on carrot and wheat samples. |

| The validity of established threshold values for the analytical authentication (stable isotopes and fatty acids) of organic drinking milk in Germany was determined for more strongly processed organic dairy products (n = 56). Milk fat extracted from both soft and semi-hard cheeses, butter, cream, sour cream, buttermilk, yoghurt and low-fat milk always possessed an alpha-linolenic acid (C18:3w3) content above the minimum level of 0.50% and a stable isotope ratio of carbon (delta13C) below the maximum level of -26.5‰ required for organic milk. Noncompliant results were obtained for whey as well as both Italian ice creams and cheeses. Analyses of German cream cheese and curd lipids revealed that 7 out of 39 samples did not comply with the two thresholds. An... |
