Standard for Poultry

Oct. 6, 2009, Ottawa –
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) has launched a national
standard for poultry producers to help protect animal health and
safeguard the Canadian food supply.
The National Avian On-Farm Biosecurity Standard focuses on disease
prevention and protection measures, collectively known as biosecurity
which play an important role in keeping diseases off the farm and out
of the Canadian food chain.
The Standard was developed in consultation with poultry marketing
boards, producers, non-supply- managed and supply- managed industry,
processors, the poultry service industries, veterinary associations and
academia.
