Disease prevention through balanced agroecosystems is prioritised in organic animal husbandry; this is achieved through appropriate housing, health, welfare, and nutrition. However, disease incidence remains and must be treated appropriately to maintain individual and herd health and welfare.

In organic farming, preference is to be given to treating sick animals using complementary veterinary practices (e.g. phytotherapy or homoeopathy). Chemically synthesised veterinary medication is to be reduced to a minimum and should only be resorted to in emergencies.

Here you find tools related to these complementary veterinary treatments.
