What makes us special

Because it's about the big picture

Animal welfare - next level

In our livestock breeding, we rely on a wide range of multi-talented animals. Dual use is quite normal for us.

Unique and guaranteed organic

The coop for our breeding stock is certified organic. This is unique in the world. Organic feed, fresh air and scratching and pecking under trees are just as much a matter of course here as on any organic farm.

We take responsibility

Organic starts with breeding. The ÖTZ provides the opportunity for sustainable, ecological and rural agriculture.

evaluated

Continuous and independent performance tests and scientific projects confirm the performance potential of our animals.

A real alternative

Rural. Non-profit. Independent. Self-determined.

Back to the future

We act with consideration for original values and take our responsibility in keeping farm animals with great care. By combining traditional methods with modern scientific knowledge, we create authentic alternatives today for a good tomorrow.
