Summary
Nomadic livestock, to be marketed with reference to the Demeter trademark, must be fed with 2/3 fodder from own production. Additional fodder can come from extensively managed areas (not certified). (DI production standards, 5.5.5. Nomadic livestock and summer grazing on uncultivated areas)
Difference
The percentage of home grown fodder required by the DI standards is higher. According to the EU Regulation 2092/91 50% of the feed for herbivores should be produced in the same farming unit or in another cooperating organic farm. This is not required during transhumancy periods.
Justification
The quality of the feed influences the quality of the animal product.
