Animal Care Program

Jul 21, 2023

The Canadian egg industry’s Animal Care Program (ACP) helps ensure that all hens have a safe, healthy and comfortable living environment. Based on the recommended Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pullets and Laying Hens, the ACP is regularly reviewed and revised to reflect new knowledge and egg farmers’ commitment to continuous improvement.

The ACP provides guidelines for space, feed, water, lighting, air quality, hen handling and more. On-farm compliance is verified through extensive record keeping, annual inspections by a trained team of field inspectors, and independent third-party auditing.
