Answer to Question 1

The six requirements for certification of organic animal products include:

1 . The livestock receive 100 feed from crops grown in an organic manner. Crops and forage can use improved plant varieties but not genetically engineered plants. Neither synthetic fertilizers nor pesticides can be used in the production of the animal feed.
2 . Livestock must be provided access to pasture.
3 . Synthetic hormones and antibiotics are not permitted in production.
4 . Alternative health therapies, such as botanical remedies and manipulation, can be used.
5 . Vaccination, minerals, and vitamins are allowed.
6 . Synthetic parasiticides are not permitted.

Answer to Question 2

The National Organic Standards Board defines organic agriculture as an ecological production management system that promotes and enhances biodiversity, biological cycles, and soil biological activity. It is based on minimal use of off-farm inputs and on management practices that restore, maintain, or enhance ecological harmony. The primary goal of organic agriculture is to optimize the health and productivity of interdependent communities of soil life, plants, animals and people.
