Abstract

We conducted investigations of the information and welfare of cattle in Korea. The livestock housing of conventional cattle farms and organic cattle farms were open side wall type with winch curtain and used litter floor. The stocking density of conventional (ranging from <TEX>$10head/m^2$</TEX> to <TEX>$12.5head/m^2$</TEX>) and organic cattle farms (ranging from <TEX>$10head/m^2$</TEX> to <TEX>$16.7head/m^2$</TEX>) met the demand for conventional or organic standards, respectively. The galvanized plate and sunlight plate were used as the roof material in all of farms. Especially, additional areas were provided to produce forage or to improve animal welfare in organic cattle farms. Thus we believe that present data contribute to develop the animal welfare certification for cattle and to improve animal welfare in Korea.
