Livestock Export Certification Examples:

3) Breed registry organizations receive all the production information from certified DHI milk recording organizations and certified Dairy Records Processing Centers.

5) The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) does NOT certify any industry organization.

6) The CDCB through the National Dairy Herd Information Associations and Quality Certification Services (NDHIA/QCS) certifies that DHI’s and DRPC’s meet quality certification requirements to provide production and identification information into the US genetic evaluation system.
