Padel, Susanne and Lowman, Steve (2005) Veterinary treatment, allopathic products, treatment frequency - UK Compendium 2005. [Organic rules - Differences between other regulations/standards and EEC No 2092/91]
Full text not available from this repository.
Summary
After more than three courses of treatment involving chemically synthesised allopathic veterinary medicines, or more than one course for an animal with a productive lifecycle of less than one year, an animal will need to go through a complete organic conversion period in order for its products to be sold as organic. However, this rule does not apply to vaccinations, parasite treatments, and compulsory treatments.
Difference
An additional interpretive note in the UK Compendium makes clear that a course of treatment includes all treatments given for a particular disease episode. The EU Regulation 2092/91 is more general.
Justification
The EU Regulation could possibly be interpreted more strictly than it is by DEFRA, and the interpretive note removes any doubt about the interpretation.
