Denne artikkelen bygger vidare på artikkelen i Buskap nummer 8 i 2008 "Slik vil kalven ha det". Den artikkelen hadde fokus på kva som er naturleg åtferd hos kalvar, og korleis dei minste kalvane som går med kua vil ha det. Denne artikkelen tar for seg kalvane etter at dei er skilt frå kua.

Organic husbandry aims to be based on 100 % organic feed. Currently there is a lack of protein feed for production of concentrates. Protein from oilseed crops is thought to complement the protein quality of peas (Pisum sativum L.). The experiences with oilseed crops in organic production are limited. With the ongoing project "Organic protein feed and edible oil from oilseed crops" the main aim is to obtain more knowledge of cultivation practices and the quality of the feed obtained from the crops. Spring turnip rape (Brassica rapa L. var. oleifera) and Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) are both successfully cultivated with different levels of supplied nitrogen and sulphur. Camelina seems to be an interesting new crop for organic production. It seems difficult to obtain good establishment and overwintering of winter rape (Brassica napus L. var. oleifera) and winter turnip rape. The nutrient value of organic spring turnip rape and winter turnip rape seems to be equivalent to conventional protein crops.

Animal welfare is regarded as a basic parameter in organic beef -and milk production. It is important to focus on good animal welfare at all levels, also including calves. Experiences from former projects show that calf welfare often represents a problem in organic and conventional farms, depending on the farmer"s priorities, attitudes and knowledge. A CORE Organic project "Minimizing medicine use in organic dairy herds through animal health and welfare planning" (ANIPLAN) was initiated in 2008 and is a collaboration between seven European countries, including Norway. The aim of the Norwegian project group, lead by the Norwegian Veterinary Institute, was to develop a calf welfare registration system, suitable for welfare advising and planning in organic milk production farms. The system focuses on animal based parameters, management, individual clinical score, colostrum intake and feeding system.

The aim of organic farming husbandry is to be entirely based on an organically produced diet. Pea is the most commonly cultivated protein rich crop in organic agriculture in Norway. However other high protein crops with complementary properties are needed to meet the nutritional demands in feeds for ruminants, pigs and poultry. An ongoing study in Bioforsk aims to develop cultivation practices on nutrient supply for organic oilseed crops and to establish knowledge on the feed quality of organically grown oilseed crops used as protein feed. It appears that spring turnip rape (Brassica rapa L. var. oleifera) and Camelina (Camelina sativa L.) can both be successfully cultivated with different levels of supplied nitrogen and sulphur. The nutrient value of organic spring turnip rape seems to be equivalent to conventional protein crops. Camelina can be an alternative in organic production, due to fewer problems with harmful pests compared with the traditional oilseed crops rape and turnip rape. Oilseed cake of turnip rape has higher protein and mineral content than the seed, and can be an interesting addition in feed ration for both ruminants and poultry, especially in combination with field pea.

The effect of climate on production and the quality of bilberries have been studied in a controlled experiment using clonal material. In the experiment individual plants from two northern clones and two southern clones of bilberry have been grown on 12◦ and 18◦ C. At each temperature 3 different light treatments have been tested; 1) 24 hour (h) natural light (long day); 2) 24 h natural light with addition of red light and 3) 12 h light (short day). All plants were kept outside during flowering to ensure pollination by insects. Berries were sampled when ripe, weighed and stored at -80◦C for later analysis of pH, sugars, acids, total phenols, total anthocyanins and total antioxidant activity.
