National Farm Animal Care Council Code of Practice: kode industri, bukan undang-undang. NFACC menyatakan persyaratan Code tidak secara tegas mengikat di sebagian besar provinsi tetapi dapat menjadi bukti penderitaan. Dirujuk dalam hukum provinsi: diadopsi di NL (NLR 36/12; NLR 35/12 s.15 menjadikan praktik yang dilarang oleh suatu kode sebagai praktik terlarang), ditetapkan di SK (Reg 1 s.3-4), disebut sebagai pembelaan di NB (Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A) dan BC (B.C. Reg. 34/2019, sebagai praktik yang diterima secara umum), diterima di NS (Act s.28(b)). Sapi potong: hanya bila diwajibkan untuk ekspor, oleh kebijakan atau sebagai bukti kepemilikan, oleh personel terlatih; tidak pada sapi yang basah. Sapi perah tidak boleh di-brand.

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)). Beef: only when required for export, by policy or as proof of ownership, by trained personnel; not on wet cattle. Dairy cattle must not be branded.
