Animal Fodder, origin - Demeter International 2005
2006Co-Authors: Beate HuberAbstract:The amount of bought in feed for pigs may not exceed 50%. This rule applies to farms where an equivalent of more than 5 livestock units in pigs are kept. Feeding stuffs of conventional origin cannot be brought in. Conventional feed can be used up to 10% in the ration, if the feed was produced on an area of the Demeter farm itself, which was newly acquired and has not yet completed the first year of conversion period. In case of proven unavailability of Demeter certified feed, the respective organisation can allow the feeding of maximum 50% organic feed. (DI production standards, 5.5.8. Feeding of pigs)

Animal Fodder, roughage requirement - Demeter International 2005
2006Co-Authors: Beate HuberAbstract:At least 60% of the diet of herbivores must consist of roughage. In summer most of the diet must be fresh green feed, preferably pasture. In winter herbivores (except beef cattle) must be given hay (exemptions can be approved). A feed ration based on silage over the whole year is not allowed. The ration for beef cattle can be based on silage but green material must be given additionally in summer. (DI production standards, 5.5.2. Feeding of dairy cows, sheep, goats and horses; DI production standards, 5.5.3. Feeding of beef cattle)

Animal Fodder, Animal origin - Demeter International 2005
2006Co-Authors: Beate HuberAbstract:Feeding stuffs of Animal origin other than milk and milk products cannot be given to herbivores. (DI production standards, 5.5.2. Feeding of dairy cows, sheep, goats and horses; DI production standards, 5.5.4. Feeding of replacement calves, calves for fattening, foal, lambs and kids)

Animal Fodder, origin, nomadic livestock - Demeter International 2005
2006Co-Authors: Beate HuberAbstract:Nomadic livestock, to be marketed with reference to the Demeter trademark, must be fed with 2/3 Fodder from own production. Additional Fodder can come from extensively managed areas (not certified). (DI production standards, 5.5.5. Nomadic livestock and summer grazing on uncultivated areas)
-
Animal Fodder, conventional/organic feed, poultry - Demeter International 2005
2006Co-Authors: Beate HuberAbstract:Poultry can be fed with up to 50% organic feed, if Demeter certified feed is not available. No bought in conventional feeding stuffs may be fed. Conventional feed can be used up to 10% in the ration for poultry, if the feed was produced on an area of the Demeter farm itself, which was newly acquired and has not yet completed the first year of the conversion period. (DI production standards, 5.5.9. Feeding of poultry)

Animal Fodder, roughage requirement, ruminants - UK Soil Association Organic Standards 2005
2005Co-Authors: Susanne Padel, Steve LowmanAbstract:Soil Association standards (Paragraphs 11.3.2) set a minimum proportion of fibrous feed and a maximum proportion of concentrate feed in the rations of cattle, sheep and goats after weaning. The Soil Association specifies a minimum of 60% roughage, fresh or dried Fodder, or silage for all cattle, sheep and goats (after weaning). In this case, the Soil Association complies with the UK Compendium of Organic Standards, Annex 1B, Paragraph 4.7. Soil Association Organic Standards. 11.3.5, and 12.3.7.

Animal Fodder, Animal origin - UK Soil Association Organic Standards 2005
2005Co-Authors: Susanne Padel, Steve LowmanAbstract:There is a limited list of feeds of Animal origin permitted for feeding to livestock. Certain items on this list are permitted to be fed only to non-herbivores. Soil Association Organic Standards. Paragraph 10.13.23.
-
Animal Fodder, Animal origin, fish products - UK Soil Association Organic Standards 2005
2005Co-Authors: Susanne Padel, Steve LowmanAbstract:There is a limited list of feeds of Animal origin permitted for feeding to Animals. Among these, any fish products must be either a by-product of fish for human consumption or from fisheries certified as being sustainably managed. Soil Association Organic Standards. Paragraph 10.13.23.
-
Animal Fodder, roughage requirement, ruminants - UK Compendium 2005
2005Co-Authors: Susanne Padel, Steve LowmanAbstract:Herbivores, once weaned, are to be reared making the maximum possible use of pastures. Their daily ration must contain at least 60% in dry matter of fresh, dried, or ensiled forage, containing roughage.

Animal Fodder, origin - SE KRAV 2006
2006Co-Authors: Eva MattssonAbstract:50% of the feed should be grown on the farm. There are exceptions for small farms (for example 3 cows with off spring or 10 beef cattle or 3 sows with off spring). Cooperation on growing of feed can be done between neighbour farms, there is a need for a cooperation contract. Exceptions can be made special cases (KRAV standards paragraph 5.3.6).
-
Animal Fodder, roughage requirement - SE KRAV 2006
2006Co-Authors: Eva MattssonAbstract:All Animals should have free access to roughage. In the diet for ruminants reared for meat there may be maximum 30% concentrate. For dairy Animals there may be maximum 40% concentrate except for the first three months in lactation when it may be 50%. (KRAV standards paragraph 5.3.10 and 5.3.11).
-
Animal Fodder, Animal origin, - SE KRAV 2006
2006Co-Authors: Eva MattssonAbstract:Conventional feed of Animal origin is not allowed to be fed to ruminants, but may be fed to pigs and chickens. For ruminants, organic by-products from milk processing such as whey and skim milk may be used (KRAV standards paragraph 5.3.12).
-
Animal Fodder, roughage requirement, grazing - SE KRAV 2006
2006Co-Authors: Eva MattssonAbstract:Grazing should constitute at least 50% of the dry matter for ruminants (during the grazing season). For dairy Animals and bullocks a somewhat lower proportion can be allowed for shorter periods but as a minimum half or the roughage should be from grazing. Pigs and poultry should have the possibility to graze, providing both feed and opportunity for activity. Stud bulls may be kept in outdoor runs but during the grazing period they should have access to fresh grass (KRAV standards paragraph 5.3.13 and 5.3.14).

Animal Fodder, origin - FR Regulation 2000
2005Co-Authors: Juliette LerouxAbstract:In France, a minimum part of the ration of the organic livestock must be grown on the farm: 50 % of the annual ration of herbivores, 40 % of the annual ration of non-herbivores. For non-herbivores, the percentage can be lower (but not under 10%) if unsufficient land or if the soils of the farm are not good enough to grow cereals (but all the land dedicated to growing feed must be organic). In this case the difference between the feed produced and the 40 % of ration must be contracted with another organic farmer, a feed producer or a cooperative. It is always possible to sell the feed materials to a feed producer and to buy feed in exchange but it has to be contracted.

Animal Fodder, conventional/organic feed - FR Regulation 2000
2005Co-Authors: Juliette LerouxAbstract:In France, a limited proportion of conventional feedstuff is authorised where the farmer is unable to obtain feed exclusively from organic production. The maximum percentage of conventional feedstuff authorised per year is 10 % of the annual ration for all Animals (25% of the daily ration).
-
Animal Fodder, roughage requirement - Nature et Progres Standards 2002
2005Co-Authors: Juliette LerouxAbstract:A minimum proportion of the dry matter in daily rations of herbivores has to consist of roughage, fresh or dried Fodder : 80% for cattle, 70% for sheeps and goats.
-
Animal Fodder, conventional/organic feed - Nature et Progres Standards 2002
2005Co-Authors: Juliette LerouxAbstract:For all Animal species, the ration must be 100 % organic feed. For herbivores, conventional feedstuff is allowed up to 10%, under exceptional climate conditions (dryness, fire, etc.), but concentrates must be 100 % organic.
-
Animal Fodder, conventional/organic feed, roughage and concentrate - FR Regulation 2000
2005Co-Authors: Juliette LerouxAbstract:In France, the percentage of non organic feed in the annual ration of herbivores is calculated separately for roughage and for concentrates.
