BETTER FOR
ANIMALS
Animal welfare is one of the most important aspects
of organic farming. Organic standards insist that
animals are given plenty of space and fresh air,168
and that they are raised in conditions that suit their
natural behaviour.169 Smaller flocks and herds, and
more access to the outdoors means organic animals
don’t have to be routinely treated with antibiotics
and wormers.170 Mutilations like beak-trimming to
prevent the aggressive side effects of stress are also
not needed or allowed.171
