title: [Veterinary medicine and organic animal husbandry. II. Organic animal husbandry: a challenge for veterinary medicine].
abstract: Biological agriculture serves as an example on an endeavour to achieve durability. Government policies offer possibilities for the further development of biological animal husbandry. Biological veterinary practice places emphasis on the promotion of animal health, rather than on the treatment of disease. Because the aim is to reduce medication, this goal is consistent with the approach of biological animal husbandry. These new developments are of interest to veterinary practitioners and require professional knowledge to be adapted to the biological way of thinking.
