The Codes of Practice are nationally developed guidelines for the care and handling of farm animals. They serve as our national understanding of animal care requirements and recommended practices. Codes promote sound management and welfare practices for housing, care, transportation, and other animal husbandry practices. This Code is a guideline for the care and handling of broiler and turkey hatching eggs, broiler and turkey breeders, broiler chickens, and turkeys, and as such plays an important role in the poultry industry’s ongoing efforts to assess animal care on poultry farms across Canada.
