The basic principle of animal health care in organic production is the prevention
of diseases, because according to legal regulations in this area, treatment of animals is by
far more restrictive compared to conventional breeding. In the context of prevention (as the
primary aspect of health control) two main groups of measures can be distinguished. The
first group relates to breeding local, autochthonous, and evolutionarily adapted
breeds/strains. Current experience on health problems in organic production of dairy cows
and sheep showed that particular attention should be focused on favoring cows that show
resistance to mastitis pathogens and sheep resilient to parasitic infections. The choice of
local, adapted and more resistant animals, can significantly reduce the negative effect of
stress in the interaction of the genotype and environmental factors (GxE), which is of great
importance for the performance of production. Another group of preventive measures
include adequat...e accommodation, food from local sources, movement, pasture
management, and zootechnic measures.
In addition to the preventive measures, in organic production the diseased animals undergo
strictly defined procedures regarding the implementation of therapy. In the treatment of
animals in organic production, preference is given to phytopreparations, homeopathic and
immunological products. Only if their use is not effective conventional drugs may be
included. In this case, the legal regulations require a protocol, which gives special
importance to the number of treatments and withdrawal period.
The safety of the antimicrobial and antiparasitic drugs, in general, is one of the most
important factors in the treatment of animals, especially in animals that are found in
organic production. Unfortunately, today there is no absolutely safe drug. Therefore, the
correct drug selection and the manner of its application, should contribute to a safer and
more efficient action.
