NEBRASKA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE AG PROMOTION AND DEVELOPMENT
Our mission is to coordinate and facilitate agricultural promotion and development activities. Through these activities, our goal is to support and promote the buying, selling, and development of Nebraska agricultural products.
The Nebraska Department of Agriculture (NDA) promotes Nebraska's livestock industry at many state, regional, and national events. The list includes: National Western Stock Show, National Cattlemen's Beef Association Annual Convention and Trade Show, Nebraska State Fair, Nebraska Cattlemen's Classic, and many state commodity association conventions, state breed association annual meetings or tours, and other special events. Through these activities, NDA has received many requests for more information and purchases of Nebraska livestock and agricultural products.

Definitions of Value Added Programs:
Source and Age Data Feedyard is actively maintaining Source and Age Data for traceability and record keeping. Does not indicate that the feedyard is verified for Source and Age Data and audited by a third-party; however, feedyard is maintaining Source and Age Data for domestic marketability such as branded beef programs.
QSA - Quality System Assessment This USDA QSA program provides suppliers the opportunity to specify product requirements and a documented quality management system. The focus of this program is primarily source and age verification. QSA program requires third party auditing twice a year.
PVP ? Process Verified Program This USDA program provides suppliers with the opportunity to be able to make marketing claims associated with their process verified points ? these include age, source, feeding practices, or other raising and processing claims ? and market themselves as "USDA Process Verified". Programs approved for PVP are also approved to use the "USDA Process Verified Shield." Cattle in a PVP program are eligible for additional marketing options. PVP requires third party auditing once per year.
NHTC - The Non-Hormone Treated Cattle Program The Non-Hormone Treated Cattle (NHTC), USDA program has been in effect since 1989, when the European Union (EU) and the U.S. agreed to control measures to facilitate the trade of nonhormone treated bovine meat.
There are three principal components of the NHTC program:
1. Cattle are to be grown in approved farms/feedlots and delivered to the slaughter establishment with shipping documentation that includes the statement "Cattle Meet EV Program Requirements for the EU" and clearly identifies the animals and the quantity.
2. Non-Hormone treated cattle and beef are segregated at the slaughter establishment and handled in a fashion that ensures that they are not commingled with other animals or meat.
3. Tissue samples from non-hormone treated cattle are collected at slaughter and

analyzed in order for FSIS to provide export certification for this product. Natural Feed Management Program USDA currently defines "natural" as a product containing no artificial ingredient or added color and is only minimally processed (a process which does not fundamentally alter the raw product). The label must explain the use of the term natural (such as - no added colorings or artificial ingredients; minimally processed.) Therefore, cattle fed in a natural management feed program will be done so to meet this USDA definition or other program or product claims. Examples might be never-ever use of antibiotics, no growth hormones or no artificial ingredients, or livestock consuming only an all-natural diet.
