Objective

The primary objective of the project is to improve information exchange between researchers working within the field of organic livestock production and to produce accessible information for organic livestock producers advisory bodies veterinary professionals and policy makers on animal welfare husbandry and health within organic livestock production systems It is envisaged that improved information sharing will lead to better definition of animal welfare- animal integrity and livestock husbandry standards in organic agriculture In doing this the project will contribute towards more successful organiclivestock production systems improved animal welfare and health and improved customer confidence in organic animal products. Indirectly the project will contribute towards increased uniformity in organic standards in various European countries The project partners also believe that the project outputs are useful for the entire livestock farming community within the EU Ultimately welfare friendly livestock production systems will contribute towards a better environment and an improved quality of life health and welfare for both humans and livestock as well as toward improved customer confidence in all livestock products. The project will achieve these objectives by creating a forum for the scientist working in the field of organic livestock production by establishing a series of workshops Internet site and by producing publications The project will consider organic sector bodies advisory services government departments. And veterinary organisations as target groups for the project setting up a mailing system to reach these groups Additionally the project will produce a book and series of publications for dissemination.
