Our Animals Health Is Our Priority
Chicken Farmers of New Brunswick are proud participants in the auditable Raised by a Canadian Farmer Animal Care Program created by Chicken Farmers of Canada which was designed to demonstrate and maintain high animal care standards of Canadian chicken farms.
Standards
The program was developed using credible, science-based foundations based on the Canadian Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Hatching Eggs, Breeders, Chickens and Turkeys. The code was updated in 2016 in collaboration with the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC).
Antimicrobial
New Brunswick chicken farmers follow the nationally developed Responsible Antimicrobial Use (AMU) Strategy. This strategy was developed in 2011 by Chicken Farmers of Canada and continues to be used to this day.
