National Farm Animal Care Council Code of Practice: panožni kodeks, ne zakon. NFACC navaja, da zahteve Kodeksa v večini provinc niso izrecno zavezujoče, lahko pa so dokaz trpljenja. V provincialnem pravu je omenjen: sprejet v NL (NLR 36/12; NLR 35/12 s.15 prakso, ki jo kodeks prepoveduje, šteje za prepovedano), predpisan v SK (Reg 1 s.3-4), naveden kot obramba v NB (Reg 2000-4 s.4(2), Sch A) in BC (B.C. Reg. 34/2019, kot splošno sprejeta praksa), sprejet v NS (Act s.28(b)). Molznih krav se ne sme žigosati, vključno z zamrzovalnim žigosanjem. Govedo za meso: samo kadar se zahteva za izvoz, po politiki ali kot dokaz lastništva, usposobljeno osebje.

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.
