Humane transport standards kick in Feb. 1

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is alerting the livestock trucking industry that its humane transport standards will come into force Feb. 1.

They have been on the books since 2019, but the CFIA granted a delay in enforcement because it realized some time was needed to set up stations where livestock could be unloaded to get feed, water and rest.


This was particularly true for livestock moving between Eastern and Western Canada because of the long haul through a relatively unpopulated area of Northwestern Ontario.
