LivestockASyst

Livestock*A*Syst is a series of risk questions and answers about livestock management practices reflecting components of a CNMP. Producers can work one-on-one with a non-regulatory MAEAP partner to identify potential environmental risks and to develop a confidential Livestock Improvement Action Plan to reduce those risks. The action plan is the producer's plan and can be completed at his or her own pace. There is no deadline.

Complete implementation of the Livestock Improvement Action Plan prepares the producer to develop a CNMP and/or achieve MAEAP Livestock System verification.

The MAEAP Livestock*A*Syst is designed to meet the needs of those producers who choose to use a risk management-based assessment to work toward MAEAP livestock verification. A scoring sheet has been developed to track progress and plan improvements as new management practices are adopted. The score might also be used to show family, farm partners, employees, customers, neighbors and other interested parties how much progress the farm has made. The higher the score, the closer the farm is to MAEAP livestock verification. Once a farm reaches a score of 100% the farm is ready to request MAEAP verification by calling the MDA at 517-373-9797.
