AGRI - LIVESTOCK INSPECTION
101-4546
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The Division of Livestock Inspection is responsible by statute for protecting livestock owners from theft or loss of livestock, introduction of diseased animals, and unfair business practices.
This is accomplished by enforcing the mandated statutes of inspection and registration of brands; returning estrays; and the licensing of livestock and agricultural dealers, agents, buyers, and
public sale yards. The division also investigates livestock thefts and enforces all livestock laws with a road interdiction program to prevent the ingress/egress of livestock that have not met
the mandated requirements of both animal health and livestock identification. Ultimately the division protects major food sources within the State of Nevada. Additionally, the Division of
Livestock provides certified Peace Officers whose function is to enforce all livestock laws and animal health requirements with the road interdiction program in the absence of permanent
ports of entry at Nevada border crossings. We cooperate with other states to help with the enforcement of their livestock laws. Statutory Authority: NRS 561, 564, 565, 575, 571, 554, and
587.
