National Farm Animal Care Council Code of Practice: pramonės kodeksas, o ne įstatymas. NFACC teigia, kad Kodekso reikalavimai daugumoje provincijų nėra aiškiai privalomi, bet gali būti kančios įrodymas. Nurodytas provincijų teisėje: priimtas NL (NLR 36/12; NLR 35/12 s.15 kodekso draudžiamą praktiką paverčia draudžiama praktika), nustatytas SK (Reg 1 s.3-4), nurodytas kaip gynybos pagrindas NB (Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A) ir BC (B.C. Reg. 34/2019, kaip visuotinai priimta praktika), pripažintas NS (Act s.28(b)). Mėsiniai galvijai: tik kai reikalaujama eksportui, pagal politiką ar kaip nuosavybės įrodymas, apmokyto personalo; ne šlapiems galvijams. Pieniniai galvijai neturi būti ženklinami.

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.
