Organic farming avoids the use of artificial chemicals, with animals also given access to the outdoors and kept in living conditions that accommodate their natural behaviour.
With the introduction of organic certification and the growth of the organic farming sector and demand for organic products, this method of farming is here to stay.
This organic livestock farming course teaches the principles and techniques of organic livestock farming. You will study topics including how to convert to organic production and meet the standards criteria; the importance of manure and rotational systems; feeding organic stock; housing standards; disease prevention; and marketing organic meat.
This organic livestock course can provide a route into a farming career and is also ideal for those already working in livestock farming who wish to convert to organic production or for leisure learners with a keen interest in this subject.
