Poultry organic standards

Oily fishmeal is allowed in organic rations and it has an even higher essential amino acid content than full-fat soya. However, its use in poultry rations is limited partly by cost, restrictions on the source of the fishmeal imposed by organic standards, the fact that some customers demand birds that are fed on a vegetable-based diet and concerns about fishy taints to the product (Walker and Gordon, 2001). [Pg.133]

Thus, it would appear that at present the organic standards have been introduced before all of the scientific data required to make a successful change to sustainable and efficient organic production are available. Currently the relevant data have to be extrapolated from conventional poultry production practices until all of the required data are available. [Pg.4]

There is still significant controversy within the organic poultry sector/ industry about the level of extensification that should be achieved and there are significant differences in standards (especially with respect to flock sizes/stocking densities, level access to the outside and pasture and feeding regimes) used by different organic sector bodies. [Pg.118]

Water is an important factor in the nutrition of poultry and should be provided in sufficient amounts and quality. As a medium for vaccines, medications and other supplements, water also plays an important role. Although hens are able to drink from nipples without any problems, they prefer to drink from open water surfaces, as this matches their normal drinking behaviour. In some organic farming standards/regimes, the use of nipples is forbidden. However, open water surfaces may pose hygiene risks, as the water often becomes polluted. [Pg.133]

Food Safety and Inspection Service (FSIS) sets standards for food safety and inspects meat, poultry, and egg products produced domestically and imported. The Service inspects animals and birds at slaughter and processed products at various stages of the production process, and analyzes products for microbiological and chemical adulterants. FSIS also informs the public about meat, poultry, and egg product food safety issues. FSIS works with the Research, Education and Economics mission area on food safety research issues and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service on instances where animal diseases impact food safety. FSIS also facilitates the management of US activities pertaining to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, an international organization created by the United Nations, to promote the health and economic interests of consumers while encouraging fair international trade in food. [Pg.45]

This publication sets out guidance for producers on nutrition and feeding practices that relate to the standards for certification of organic poultry. Details on permitted feed ingredients, with an emphasis on those grown or available locally and on suitable dietary formulations, are included. Although aspects of these topics have been presented at conferences and in trade and scientific publications, no comprehensive text has been published to date. [Pg.2]

It is clear that the idealism set out initially in the principles of organic agriculture has had to be tempered by practical considerations. The standards adopted have to aim for a balance between the desire of consumers for organic products and considerations of ethical and ecological integrity and the practical and financial needs of producers. As a result, synthetic vitamins are now allowed in organic poultry feeds, with some restrictions. [Pg.2]

Another problem for the UK farmer and feed manufacturer is a current ban on the use of fishmeal in feedmills that produce feed for ruminants (an industry-wide rather than an organic regulation). This means that organic feed manufacturers with only one mill (and who cannot now use pure amino acids) who produce ruminant and non-ruminant diets can no longer use fishmeal at all. The result is that those mills in particular have a very difficult task in producing organic poultry diets of the necessary nutritional standard. [Pg.4]

The regulations governing organic animal and poultry production in China are set out in the AgriFood MRL Standard and are summarized below. The Standard resembles in part the IFOAM standards but contains some unique features ... [Pg.16]

All of the above proposals indicate that experts in the area of poultry and animal nutrition should be more closely involved in the establishment of future standards for organic poultry production. [Pg.309]

It can be seen therefore that a two-tier set of standards exists, namely the EU standards and UKROFS. Poultry meat produced and sold in the UK has to meet UKROFS requirements, but organic poultry produced in mainland Europe can be exported into the UK unhindered, provided it meets the EU standards, both carrying an organic label. This would present no problem in production terms unless the UKROFS standard were more stringent than the EU, when the home produced poultry would be at a disadvantage faced with cheaper imports. [Pg.110]
