In India during the last four decades the poultry and dairy industry have transformed from backyard farming to a commercial organized, scientific and vibrant industry but the issues of food safety and quality remain unaddressed. Poultry and dairy sectors play a significant role in improving the socio economic condition of the rural masses. Day by day the consumers are becoming more aware about safety and quality of their food products. As the purchasing power of common people is increasing persistently they are interested to consume safer products without bothering to pay more. Hence, the priority now is to lay more emphasis on organic farming in order to produce safer animal products without compromising on the animal welfare issues.

FAO defines Organic farming as “ a unique production management system which promotes and enhances agroecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity, and this is accomplished by using on farm agronomic, biological and mechanical methods in exclusion of all synthetic off farm inputs.”

The main aim of organic farming is to establish and maintain soil-plant, plant-animal and animal-soil interdependence and to produce sustainable agro ecological system based on local resources. It does not require external inputs like fertilizer, antibiotics etc., but prominently rely on ecosystem management. The agriculture cycle is incomplete without the involvement of domesticated livestock that play a major role in the cycle under the organic livestock production. The establishment of organic animal husbandry requires a specific period called the conversion period, the time taken between start of the organic management on farm and certification of the livestock farm and its product. The transition from conventional system to organic management system of livestock enterprises calls for a careful and gradual approach.
