Facts for Organic Farming in Figures
higher biodiversity (flora) through organic farming.
Virtually 100% pesticide-free – up to 98% fewer residues than conventional surface water.
better animal health for livestock on organic farms (less medication & happier animals).
more individuals and 30% higher biodiversity live on organic farms compared to conventional ones.
Benefits for Pets and Their Bowl-Fillers
Healthcare prevention & reduced follow-up costs
Healthcare prevention & reduced follow-up costs
Organic and organically-related pet food makes a significant contribution to health prevention – for animals and their owners.
Why organic is the naturally better choice:
- No pesticide or herbicide residues
- Free from chemical-synthetic additives (flavor enhancers, preservatives, and colorants)
- GMO-free
- Gentle processing, natural proteins and fats, and higher nutrient density
- Better digestibility, reduced allergy risk, and strengthening of the immune system
Species-appropriate, bio-based nutrition promotes the well-being of animals and a more harmonious human-animal relationship – and can reduce veterinary costs in the long term. High digestibility allows for optimal feed utilization, reduces consumption, and eases the digestive tract.
Organic feeding also pays off for poultry: eggs contain more micronutrients, often higher omega-3 levels, and a better omega-6/3 ratio. Organic farming minimizes antibiotic use, and healthier animals lay higher-quality eggs more regularly.
Ethically responsible consumption
Ethically responsible consumption
Organic pet food represents a sustainable production cycle in harmony with nature and animal welfare. In an organic context, ethical responsibility means:
- Avoiding extractive monocultures
- Species-appropriate rearing of farm animals
- Shorter transport routes
- Targeted reduction of pollutants in water, air, and soil
This creates a long-term sustainable cycle that protects both the environment and animals.
A central aspect is the preservation and promotion of biodiversity. Natural habitats are protected, and animal welfare is paramount. At the same time, regional, organic agriculture is strengthened: fewer pesticides, primarily organic fertilizers, and the abandonment of factory farming lead to significantly lower environmental impact and can reduce costs for society and the healthcare system in the long term.
The choice of raw materials also matters: organic grain in poultry feed contributes significantly to a better ecological footprint and supports resource-saving, future-proof agriculture.
