Medication is an important focus area in organic animal husbandry. The combination of goals relating to improved animal welfare and reduced use of chemicals in general creates a common wish to reduce medication. Based on data from current Danish research projects in organic dairy farming, one specific organic medication pattern or policy cannot be described. The disease treatment pattern is influenced by many factors, e.g. the interaction with colleagues, veterinarians and agricultural advisors. No significant difference could be found with regard to incidence of mastitis treatments or somatic cell counts in 27 organic and 57 conventional herds. A marked tendency to shorter treatment periods in relation to mastitis treatments was described for organic farms in comparison with conventional farms (1.9 days versus 3.2 days (5 organic and 7 conventional herds)). In a study of development of health advisory service in organic herds, the dialogue between farmer, veterinarian and agricultural cattle advisor changed the treatment pattern markedly during a period of 6 months. Among important future challenges for veterinarians in organic farming is pointed at the constructive, open, and critical interaction with the single organic farmer as well as the organic animal husbandry system in general.
药物治疗是有机畜牧业的一个重要关注领域。改善动物福利和总体上减少化学品使用这两个目标相结合，产生了减少药物使用的共同愿望。根据丹麦目前有机奶牛养殖研究项目的数据，无法描述一种特定的有机药物使用模式或政策。疾病治疗模式受到许多因素的影响，例如与同事、兽医和农业顾问的互动。在27个有机牛群和57个传统牛群中，乳腺炎治疗发生率或体细胞计数方面未发现显著差异。与传统农场相比，有机农场在乳腺炎治疗方面的治疗期明显更短（1.9天对3.2天（5个有机牛群和7个传统牛群））。在一项关于有机牛群健康咨询服务发展的研究中，农民、兽医和农业养牛顾问之间的对话在6个月的时间里显著改变了治疗模式。有机养殖中兽医未来面临的重要挑战之一是与单个有机养殖户以及整个有机畜牧业系统进行建设性、开放和批判性的互动。
