Certified Livestock Producer Program

Certified Livestock Producer Program

The Indiana State Department of Agriculture developed the Certified Livestock Producer Program as a way to recognize livestock farmers that go above and beyond in their farm practices and procedures. This voluntary program will recognize farmers that are willing to demonstrate publicly their commitment to the environment, animal well-being, food safety, emergency planning, and biosecurity. ISDA believes this tool will help improve understanding of modern livestock production in today’s communities.

About the Program

The Certified Livestock Producers are livestock producers who must demonstrate their commitment to the environment, animal well-being, food safety, emergency planning, and biosecurity. Certified Livestock Producers complete self-assessments, trainings and an ISDA staff site visit in these four areas to complete their certification.
