• Broiler chicken health, welfare and fluctuating asymmetry in organic versus conventional production systems (2008, background): “However, such data are extremely scant and restricted to parameters of physical health (Lund and Algers, 2003).”
• Natural living—a precondition for animal welfare in organic farming (2006, background): “Although organic farmers have ideological as well as economic reasons (premiums for organic production can be lost) not to use antibiotics, the criticism was not confirmed by the literature study (Lund and Algers, 2003).”
• Understanding animal welfare (2008, unknown): “Examples of problems include high neonatal mortality in outdoor pig units [11], and high levels of parasitism among chickens on organic farms [12].”
• A review of key health-related welfare issues in organic poultry production (2009, background): “For the issues that have been discussed in this review, it is clear that there are gaps in the scientific knowledge (Berg, 2001, Lund and Algers, 2003; Sundrum et al., 2005; Kijlstra and Eijck, 2006).”
