title: [On calving in the pasture during the fall (veterinary expert)].
abstract: The objective of the following study was a veterinary expert opinion dealing with the evaluation of the pasturing of a cow and her calf during fall with special respect to animal welfare. The legal basis of this expert opinion was the Animal Welfare Act as amended on 1993. It is emphasized that there are no binding legal regulations as to the pasturing of livestock and that, especially because of the increasing public interest in animal welfare matters, the definition of minimal requirements would be desirable.
