Organic feed industry

The organic feed industry offers high quality products, in respect of the environment, natural cycles, physical and psychological habits and behaviours of livestock. Intensive livestock (not organic) produces up to 3 tons per person of slurry. Slurry evaporation is one of the principal causes of acid rains and contains pesticides, antibiotics, nitrates, etc. which penetrate into soil, polluting also water we drink.

In the conventional feed industry, the main purpose is to maximise produced quantity and contrarily, to minimise management times and costs. The organic feed industry aims at quality first of all.

Daily antibiotics are given to the livestock in intensive breeding with a prevention instead of curative purpose: to contrast the spread of diseases linked to the unnatural living conditions of animals like overeating and overcrowding.
Animals are more stressed and weak through hormones and antibiotics, bacteria become even more resistant to antibiotics which resemble to antibiotics for human beings. Phenomena of crossed resistance could verify, that is, human beings could be infected by those bacteria that are already resistant to their antibiotics.
Organic farming aims at safeguarding and fortify livestock’s health in order to make them more resistant to diseases.
