Livestock Handling & Care

 

Recommended Codes of Practice

The Recommended codes of practice for the care and handling of farm animals are nationally developed guidelines for the care and handling of different species of farm animals.  The Codes are intended to promote sound management and welfare practices and contain recommendations for housing, management, transportation, processing, and other acceptable animal husbandry practices.  They assist farmers and others in the agriculture and food sector to compare and improve their own management practices.

One of the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) objectives is to update and re-establish the Code development process. Click here for more details on NFACC and the codes.
