Ohio voters approved an initiative to establish a board on livestock care standards.
The Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board will consist of 13 members including family farmers, a representative from a local humane society, consumers, veterinarians and the Ohio Ag director.
The committee will set standards for treatment, car and welfare of all livestock raised in Ohio. The standards will be based on ethics and science.
Both sides of the issue are allowed to voice their opinions to help shape the best standards for the Ohio livestock industry.
