Seeking More Input on Canada’s Revised Equine Code of Practice

Second Survey to Encourage Horse Stakeholders to Participate

By , Farms.com

Canada is currently in the midst of updating its Equine Code of Practice, which served as best practiced for equine care across the country. The National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) is conducting a second survey in order to gain additional input on the revisions of the code. The code will be scientifically informed and will also bring together expertise from the equine and horse industry.

The NFACC is overseeing the completion of a multi-year project to update the Codes of Practices for a number of farm animals including, beef, swine, and dairy just to name a few.

The survey should take roughly 10 minutes to complete. More information about the survey can be found at www.nfacc.ca/codes-of-practice/equine

Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
