GAINESVILLE, Ga. — The USDA has announced the Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards proposed rule in the Federal Register. The pending regulation demonstrated new conditions for livestock and organic poultry living conditions, care, transport and slaughter. This proposed regulation would make changes to the USDA organic rules to give a more fair, competitive edge for the market of organic livestock producers.
The organic chicken market predicts a market value of $8.73 billion from 2021 to 2026, according to the latest market report from Technavio. This new rule would ensure that certified USDA livestock items are manufactured at the same standard. . .
