Dutch Organisation for Organic Animal Breeding
Working closely with organic farmers, the Dutch Organisation for Organic Livestock Breeding (Stichting Biologische Veeverbetering, SBV) strives to increase the availability of organic breeding stock. Organic breeding is about selecting and propagating animals that are optimally suited to organic conditions. Organic livestock breeding respects animal welfare and animals’ integrity. Our aim is healthy, productive animals that thrive on organic farms.
