Aldi Suisse Launches Organic Beef Project
Aldi Suisse has launched an organic project for grazing beef cattle, ‘Aldi Bio Weide Rind’, which is says is a first for the retail sector in Switzerland.
The project aims to go one step further than common organic farming standards by guaranteeing that male dairy calves can also be raised on the farm where they were born, while also meeting strictest standards in terms of both animal welfare and sustainability.
All calves remain for an initial period of at least 150 days on the farm of their birth, where they are fed by their mothers. In this way, the young calves do not undergo any transfers while their immune system is not yet fully developed (up to four weeks), reducing the need for antibiotics.
