This review aimed to systematically map and summarize the status of animal health
and welfare in organic production. The prevalence of diseases and behavioural
effects in organic dairy cow, beef cattle, sheep, pig, laying hen and broiler
chicken were discussed in the context of the organic values and current knowledge
on animal health and welfare. In total 166 peer-reviewed scientific publications
between 2008 and 2020 were included. No strong evidence for neither inferior nor
distinctly higher animal welfare in organic compared with conventional production
could be supported. The welfare status of organic livestock is in general good in
relation to the OIE definition of animal health and welfare. However, organic
systems are still facing several challenges related to animal health and the
arising of goal conflicts due to management and practical implications. Greater
possibilities to perform species-specific behaviours in organic production
systems, however, indicate that the organic standards offer a good framework for
high animal welfare management. For organic dairy farmers, the main health
problems are similar to those of non-organic farms; especially mastitis and
lameness need improvement. Parasites, together with mastitis and lamb mortality,
are important welfare issues in organic sheep production. Piglet mortality, leg
problems, parasite load and increasing respiratory problems are of major
relevance in organic pig production. For organic laying hens, major health
challenges relate to feather pecking and cannibalism, parasites and possibilities
to express species-specific behaviours. For organic broilers, dermatitis of
footpads, hocks and breast are reported as main health issues.
