Animal Care

The success of the Canadian cattle industry relies on healthy, well-cared for cattle. Canada’s farmers and ranchers work hard to care for their animals every day. Where there are issues, farmers and ranchers work with the CCA Animal Health and Care Committee towards improvements through research, communication, and education.

The beef cattle industry took a leading role in the development of the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle in 1991, its renewal in 2013 and reaffirmation in 2018 after a 5-year review. The Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle provides recommendations for meeting the basic needs of beef cattle. The Code was developed to augment existing laws and regulations, reflecting industry’s commitment to the humane treatment and care of beef cattle.
