What is the maximum proportion of conventional feedstuffs permitted, by derogation, in organic livestock diets?
On an annual basis
5% for ruminants (until 31 December 2007)and 15% for non-ruminants (until 31 December 2007).
On a daily basis
The maximum percentage of conventional feedingstuffs in the daily diet should be no more than 25%.
By December 2007, 100% organic feed must be fed to ruminants.
