With the new Animal Welfare Regulations projected finalization in 2017, OTCO wants to prepare livestock operations for the upcoming changes. During the webinar, we explained the new changes in detail, and how they will impact organic livestock operations regarding daily physical practices, as well as structural changes that may be necessary for some operations. We also provided participants with resources to assist them in making adjustments in compliance with national organic regulations.
