Listed identification procedure; no anaesthetic needed (S.I. 107/2014).

National Farm Animal Care Council Code of Practice: an industry code, not a statute. NFACC says Code requirements are not explicitly binding in most provinces but can be evidence of distress. Referred to in provincial law: adopted in NL (NLR 36/12; NLR 35/12 s.15 makes a practice a code prohibits a prohibited one), prescribed in SK (Reg 1 s.3-4), named as a defence in NB (Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A) and BC (B.C. Reg. 34/2019, as generally accepted practice), accepted in NS (Act s.28(b)). Dairy cattle must not be branded, freeze branding included. Beef: only when required for export, by policy or as proof of ownership, by trained personnel.

Designated identification method for horses.

Cattle and equids: the operator must be trained or experienced and able to recognise distress, and suitable help must be available during recovery. Freeze branding a dog needs pain relief authorised by a veterinarian (r 55J).

Marking warm-blooded animals by freezing is named as cruelty, unless a procedure allowed by law.
