Why standards matter

Why do credible standards change outcomes? Recognized livestock standards align daily practices with clear, verifiable criteria—from biosecurity and hygiene to transport and documentation—so farms can operate efficiently and access higher‑value markets.
GLOBAL S.L.P. translates science and international best practice into practical requirements that fit real operations, helping reduce risk, improve animal outcomes, and build buyer confidence.
Certification adds an objective layer of trust, enabling producers to demonstrate compliance consistently and transparently. The result: fewer non‑conformities, better planning, and stronger relationships across the supply chain.
GLOBAL S.L.P. is the governance body responsible for managing and advancing the Integrated Farm Management (IFM) Standard for Livestock originally established by GLOBALG.A.P. in 2005..
