Abstract
Executive Summary: This document contains indemnity values for animal agricultural commodities intended for use across U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) agencies or business units that deal with indemnity programs. These entities include the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinary Services (VS), USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA), and the USDA Farm Production and Conservation Business Center (FPAC–BC). The values calculated from government data sources represent harmonized methods at the USDA level. Use of these values by APHIS–VS, FSA, and FPAC–BC will vary according to program differences across these agencies and business units. In addition, values based on five-year Census surveys, limited industry surveys, and publicly available, nationally representative online sources are included for USDA–APHIS–VS programs.
