The treatment and care of animals is important, as is outlined in the 1984 Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Farm Animals: Pigs. These codes provide information about recommended practices to produces and interested parties. There is now a program in development that looks at promoting sound animal care practices on Canadian hog farms, providing a mechanism to demonstrate that the practices are being followed, and building confidence throughout the supply chain and consumers. This program is called the ACA. This program will be delivered through the CQA agency in each province. This program will efficiently be implemented in the near future.
