In May 2007 a working group passed a guideline, which deals with requirements for the indoor keeping of dairy cows to perform Article 2 of the animal welfare legislation. The guideline should support the local district veterinary authorities and the stockman in the animal welfare judgement both of new and rebuilding as well as already existing stables. Whereas for new buildings minimum standards for the protection of cows are put together and beyond that additional recommendations for more "cow comfort" are given, for old buildings only standard values are presented. The guideline mentioned especially those aspects, which from previous experience always gives cause for discussion. For example: size and construction of cubicles, width and floor design of passageways or the relation between the number of animals and the number of feeding places and cubicles. All together the guideline enables the local district veterinary authorities in Lower Saxony to judge the keeping of dairy cows following equal standards. This leads to confidence in planning and investment for the livestock owners.
2007年5月，一个工作组通过了一项准则，该准则涉及奶牛室内饲养的要求，以执行动物福利立法的第2条。该准则应在动物福利判断方面为当地地区兽医当局和饲养员提供支持，无论是新建和重建的牛舍，还是现有的牛舍。对于新建建筑，制定了保护奶牛的最低标准，除此之外还给出了更多关于“奶牛舒适度”的额外建议，而对于旧建筑，仅列出了标准值。该准则特别提到了那些根据以往经验总是会引发讨论的方面。例如：牛栏的尺寸和构造、通道的宽度和地面设计，或者动物数量与饲养场所和牛栏数量之间的关系。总体而言，该准则使下萨克森州的当地地区兽医当局能够按照统一标准判断奶牛的饲养情况。这为牲畜所有者的规划和投资带来了信心。
