This book was released on 2005 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'agriculture biologique trouve ses origines dans les théories de R. Steiner et de Sir A. Howard. Longtemps considérée comme marginale en France, l'agriculture biologique est officiellement reconnue depuis 1980. L'agriculture biologique est un système global de production (animale et végétale) qui limite très fortement l'utilisation de produits chimiques de synthèse et préfère l'emploi de méthodes naturelles. L'agrobiologie a connu depuis le début des années 90 une très forte croissance dans toutes les productions, et notamment en élevage bovin laitier. L'agriculture biologique est réglementée par un cahier des charges européen (REPAB). En France les producteurs biologiques sont soumis à une réglementation plus stricte sur certains aspects. Une étude bibliographique sur les élevages bovins laitiers biologiques et une enquête menée dans 8 élevages en région Midi-Pyrénées et Aquitaine permettent de faire le point sur la gestion zootechnique et sanitaire de ces élevages. Les éleveurs gèrent leur troupeau de manière extensive, ils recherchent à auto-produire l'alimentation de leur troupeau, privilégiant les fourrages. La production laitière est inférieure à celle observée en élevages conventionnels. Les pathologies mammaires sont les problèmes sanitaires que les éleveurs ont le plus de difficultés à résoudre. La réglementation interdit les traitements allopathiques préventifs systématiques et limite à deux le nombre d'intervention allopathiques par vache et par an. Les éleveurs utilisent des traitements alternatifs en première intention, mais il ont recours à l'allopathie notamment pour les problèmes de mammites. Les éleveurs attendent de leurs vétérinaires des compétences en médecine alternatives et une plus grande ouverture d'esprit face à ce mode d'élevage.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’agriculture biologique ne cesse de progresser en France depuis quelques années. L’élevage bovin allaitant biologique ne représente que 3,5 % du cheptel national fin 2015 ; mais il est important pour le vétérinaire intervenant dans les élevages biologiques de connaître ce mode de production et la réglementation européenne à laquelle sont soumis les éleveurs. Peu d’études ont porté sur l’élevage bovin allaitant et les pratiques des éleveurs biologiques sont encore peu connues. Ce constat a motivé la réalisation d’une enquête auprès d’éleveurs biologiques et conventionnels de la Creuse et de l’Indre. Le but de ce travail était de savoir si la conduite d’élevage, les dominantes pathologiques et les pratiques sanitaires différaient selon le mode de production et de connaître le ressenti des éleveurs sur les changements induits par la conversion vers l’agriculture biologique. Trente et un éleveurs biologiques (AB) et 20 éleveurs conventionnels (AC) ont répondu, lors d’un entretien, à notre questionnaire portant sur leurs conduites, leurs pratiques sanitaires, les maladies touchant l’élevage et les traitements vétérinaires. Les dominantes pathologiques et le niveau sanitaire ne varient pas selon le mode de production. Les principales différences concernent la conduite alimentaire avec une autonomie plus élevée chez les éleveurs biologiques (71 % des éleveurs AB versus 10 % des éleveurs AC), et les choix génétiques portés avant tout sur les critères fonctionnels en élevage biologique (75 % en AB versus 30 % en AC). Les éleveurs biologiques se distinguent des éleveurs conventionnels par leur moindre recours aux vaccins (29 % en AB versus 60 % en AC) et aux antiparasitaires allopathiques systématiques (21o% en AB versus 85 % en AC). La gestion du risque parasitaire repose sur une grande attention accordée au pâturage (71 % en AB versus 35 % en AC). Le recours aux médecines complémentaires est fréquent (79 % en AB versus 40 % en AC). 38% des éleveurs en AB plébiscitent la proposition de certaines solutions complémentaires par leur vétérinaire. La conversion ne présente pas de difficultés pour plus de la moitié des éleveurs (55 %) Les principaux changements observés concernent l’assolement (pour 68 % des éleveurs) avec la mise en place de cultures permettant d’atteindre l’autonomie alimentaire et l’adoption d’une vision globale de la santé du troupeau (pour 52 % des éleveurs) avec la mise en place de mesures préventives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La 4e de couv. indique : "Comment convertir un élevage conventionnel de bovins lait et viande en un système d'élevage biologique ? Quels sont les éléments indispensables à connaître et les conseils à suivre pour mener à bien cette conversion ? Ce guide pratique s'adresse principalement aux éleveurs conventionnels déjà installés qui possèdent une expérience de l'élevage des bovins lait et/ou viande. Il présente le contexte actuel de l'élevage biologique des bovins laitiers et allaitants, en France et dans la Communauté européenne, détaille la situation du marché biologique des produits laitiers et de la viande bovine ainsi que l'organisation des filières et offre de nouvelles perspectives. Il met également en évidence la singularité des techniques biologiques, comparées aux pratiques conventionnelles, en insistant sur les aspects différenciant et en précisant, pour chacune d'entre elles, les exigences réglementaires, les résultats technico-économiques, mesurés sur un échantillon d'exploitations biologiques représentatives du territoire national, permettant d'appréhender les changements à attendre d'une conversion en agriculture biologique. Enfin, il indique les différentes étapes pour suivre un plan de conversion, basé sur différentes aides dont l'éleveur peut bénéficier, propose des cas concrets et restitue les témoignages de différents acteurs des filières «lait» et «viande» (éleveurs, chercheurs des fermes expérimentales, responsables d'organismes d'aval) pour apporter un éclairage réaliste sur la problématique de conversion et les perspectives du marché biologique des produits laitiers et de la viande bovine."

This book was released on 2015 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ce travail vise à caractériser les états d'équilibre et de déséquilibre sanitaire en élevage bovin laitiers conventionnels et biologiques de façon objective et standardisée. Pour cela, 95 indicateurs construits à partir des données de production, reproduction et de démographie des années 2006, 2007 et 2008 ont caractérisé 2000 élevages dont 153 biologiques. Les états d'équilibre et de déséquilibre sanitaire ont été définis par rapport à la variabilité des ces indicateurs au cours des 3 années d'étude. Ainsi, une analyse en composantes principales (ACP) a résumé l'information contenue dans ce jeu de données. Cela a permis de comparer plus simplement les élevages dont les indicateurs varient beaucoup au cours de ces 3 années de ceux dont les indicateurs sont stables. Pour cela, à l'aide des coordonnées annuelles de chaque élevage issues de l'ACP, chaque élevage a pu être placé dans un espace à 30 dimensions, et son barycentre a pu être calculé. L'analyse du positionnement de chaque élevage par rapport à son barycentre a permis d'évaluer l'évolution des indicateurs de chaque élevage au cours des 3 années d'étude. Ainsi, les 25%premiers élevages présentant les indicateurs les plus stables ont été considérés en équilibre sanitaire et les 10 % premiers élevages présentant les indicateurs les moins stables ont été considérés en déséquilibre sanitaire. Il n'a pas été possible de caractériser plus précisément les élevages en état d'équilibre ou de déséquilibre sanitaire par leurs indicateurs autrement que par l'évolution de ces derniers.

Book excerpt: The INRA Feeding System for Ruminants has been renewed to better address emerging challenges for animal nutrition: prevision of productive responses, product quality, animal health and emissions to the environment, in a larger extent of breeding contexts. The new system is mainly built from meta-analyses of large data bases, and modelling. The dietary supply model accounts for digestive interactions and flows of individual nutrients, so that feed values depend on the final ration. Animal requirements account for variability in metabolic efficiency. Various productive and non-productive animal responses to diets are quantified. This book presents the whole system for dairy and meat, large and small ruminant production, including specificities for tropical and Mediterranean areas. The first two sections present biological concepts and equations (with their field of application and statistical accuracy) used to predict intake (including at grazing) and nutrient supply (Section 1), animal’s requirements and multiple responses to diets (Section 2). They apply to net energy, metabolisable protein and amino acids, water, minerals and vitamins. Section 3 presents the use of concepts and equations in rationing with two purposes: (1) diet calculation for a given performance objective; and (2) prediction of the multiple responses of animal to diet changes. Section 4 displays the tables of feed values, and their prevision. All the equations and concepts are embedded in the fifth version of INRAtion® software for practical use.

Book excerpt: Sustainable agriculture is a rapidly growing field aiming at producing food and energy in a sustainable way for humans and their children. Sustainable agriculture is a discipline that addresses current issues such as climate change, increasing food and fuel prices, poor-nation starvation, rich-nation obesity, water pollution, soil erosion, fertility loss, pest control, and biodiversity depletion. Novel, environmentally-friendly solutions are proposed based on integrated knowledge from sciences as diverse as agronomy, soil science, molecular biology, chemistry, toxicology, ecology, economy, and social sciences. Indeed, sustainable agriculture decipher mechanisms of processes that occur from the molecular level to the farming system to the global level at time scales ranging from seconds to centuries. For that, scientists use the system approach that involves studying components and interactions of a whole system to address scientific, economic and social issues. In that respect, sustainable agriculture is not a classical, narrow science. Instead of solving problems using the classical painkiller approach that treats only negative impacts, sustainable agriculture treats problem sources. Because most actual society issues are now intertwined, global, and fast-developing, sustainable agriculture will bring solutions to build a safer world. This book series gathers review articles that analyze current agricultural issues and knowledge, then propose alternative solutions. It will therefore help all scientists, decision-makers, professors, farmers and politicians who wish to build a safe agriculture, energy and food system for future generations.

Book excerpt: Stakeholders show a growing interest for organic food and farming (OF&F), which becomes a societal component. Rather than questioning whether OF&F outperforms conventional agriculture or not, the main question addressed in this book is how, and in what conditions, OF&F may be considered as a prototype towards sustainable agricultures. The book gathers 25 papers introduced in a first chapter. The first section investigates OF&F production processes and its capacity to benefit from the systems functioning to achieve higher self-sufficiency. The second one proposes an overview of organic performances providing commodities and public goods. The third one focuses on organics development pathways within agri-food systems and territories. As well as a strong theoretical component, this book provides an overview of the new challenges for research and development. It questions the benefits as well as knowledge gaps with a particular emphasis on bottlenecks and lock-in effects at various levels.
