May 2, 2010, Guelph, Ont. – The
Government of Canada has announced that it will invest up to $3.4
million towards furthering the development of best-practices for
livestock handling.
The Canadian Animal Health Coalition (CAHC), working with the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC), will use this investment of up to $3.4 million to advance animal care and well-being in the farmed animal sector.
This investment will help develop a new Codes of Practice for various farmed animal sectors and an on-farm assessment protocol. As a framework for the Codes, NFACC will use the revised National Development Process for Codes of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals that they piloted last year in the dairy industry with support from federal adaptation funding.
Funding for this project is being made available through the AgriFlexibility fund. Funding is subject to the project meeting all eligibility requirments and the signing of a contribution agreement.
