In fact, if a single gram of it is found in a rancher's stock, they can be fined,” stated Rúa Franco, explaining that penalties can include the withdrawal of the farm's organic certification until the issue is resolved and even the annulment of the conversion process. Poisons made with chemicals, including herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides used to control pests and parasites, are restricted and constitute the second guideline to keep in mind. Meanwhile, chemical medications also have no place on organic farms. Treatments are curative and individualized but not preventative, so allopathy or natural medicine is welcome and is the third guideline. The fourth and final consideration for conversion includes the permissibility of using conventional medications, of course, if a veterinarian confirms through a clinical evaluation that the animal requires them. For this reason, the decision is made to separate the animal from the rest of the herd to prevent the spread of the disease. "Animal welfare and preventing its death are paramount.

Likewise, all foods made with chemicals or genetically modified products are excluded from the animal diet list. According to Rúa, there is a wide range of organic feed for livestock on the market. http://contextoganadero.com/reportaje... Juan Gonzalo Angel www.tvagro.tv
