Short Statement: On April 5, 2022, the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) published the “Origin of Livestock” (OOL) final rule (87 FR 19740) related to livestock production practices under the USDA organic regulations (7 CFR part 205). AMS took this action to increase uniformity in organic dairy production practices and reduce organic certification discrepancies between certifying agents. The final rule clarified that certified organic dairy operations may transition nonorganic animals to organic production only once. After that, any animals added to a certified organic dairy operation must have been organically managed from the last third of gestation. To provide flexibility, the final rule allows [in 7 CFR 205.236(d)] small certified organic dairy operations to request a variance under limited conditions.
