I just read the new proposed USDA standards on livestock production.
Can anbody tell me if the following assumptions are correct?
I can use vaccinations. I only vaccinate sows prebreeding now.
I can use 20% non organic feed. Can this be sows gleaning non-organic corn feilds in early
gestation.
I can use paraciticides if they aren't used routinely. Would worming only sows be considered
non routine.

The way I read it, these production practices would easily comply.
If they have lowered the crop and vegtable standards to these levels watch out because
organic prices are coming down. I'm raising organic pigs according to these regulations once
I quit banding my corn!
Best wishes,
Greg Gunthorp
