The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) prohibits discrimination in all its

programs and activities based on race, color, national origin, age, disability, and,

where applicable, sex, marital status, familial status, parental status, religion, sexual

orientation, genetic information, political beliefs, reprisal, or because an individual

derives all or part of their income from any public assistance program. (Not all

prohibited bases apply to all programs.) 

Persons with disabilities who require alternative means for communication of

program information (Braille, large print, audiotape, etc.) should contact USDA’s

TARGET Center at (202) 720–2600 (voice and TDD). To file a complaint of

discrimination, write to USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, 1400 Independence

Avenue, S.W., Washington, D.C. 20250– 9410, or call (800) 795–3272 (voice) or

(202) 720–6382 (TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. 

Mention of companies or commercial products does not imply recommendation or

endorsement by the USDA over others not mentioned. The USDA neither guarantees

nor warrants the standard of any product mentioned. The USDA mentions product

names solely to report factually on available data and provide specific information. 
This publication reports research involving pesticides. All uses of pesticides must be

registered by appropriate federal and/or state agencies before they can be

recommended. 

CAUTION: Pesticides can injure humans, domestic animals, desirable plants, fish, or

other wildlife — if not handled or applied properly. Use all pesticides selectively and

carefully. Follow recommended practices for the disposal of surplus pesticides and

pesticide containers.

This guide supersedes APHIS 91-55-065, “Veterinary Accreditation: A

Reference Guide for Practitioners,” published in February 1993, and all

subsequent revisions pre-dating July 2011.
