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)). Zarezovanje in blokiranje repa se ne smeta izvajati.

Reg. 34/2019, as generally accepted practice), accepted in NS (Act s.28(b)). Tail nicking and blocking must not be performed.
