Online Course Available on Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards (OLPS) Final Rule

USDA’s Organic Integrity Learning Center has a new course available on the Organic Livestock and Poultry Standards (OLPS) final rule, published in November 2023. This rule clarified the previous organic livestock health care and living conditions standards, added new standards specific to avian species, and added detail to some of the existing health care and living condition requirements for livestock. The free, online course helps organic certifiers, inspectors, and producers apply the changes to the USDA organic regulations from the OLPS final rule before the rule goes into effect in January 2025. The course contains a variety of instructional materials that teach you how to fulfill the requirements of the final rule and further promote consistency in organic livestock and poultry health and care standards.
