Canada - One third of Saskatchewan pork producers now enrolled in animal care assessment program

The Saskatchewan Pork Development Board estimates a third of the province's pork producers have already been validated under the Canadian pork industry's Animal Care Assessment program.

The Animal Care Assessment program is a written set of protocols that help focus the attention of pork producers on animal care.
Effective January 1, 2012 completion of the ACA requirements will become a mandatory component of Canadian Quality Assurance, the Canadian pork industry's on-farm food safety program.
