Agriculture '98 Codes of practice set standard for livestock production By Bonnie Gropp Citizen staff They remove any misconcep- tions. Doug Richards, the Huron Coun- ty swine specialist for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA), explains that codes of practice are in place because the animal industry felt guides were needed to show not just livestock producers, but the general public that the animal industry is being proactive in the handling of animals. "By having a code there is a stan- dard policy on how animals are cared for," said Richards. Produced by the Canadian Agri- food Research Council (CARC), there are currently nine codes of practice completed. According to Leslie Ballentine, the executive director of the Ontario Farm Ani- mal Council , the code for horses is "at the printers" while goats will be next, followed by ratites (emu, ostrich, etc.) There have also been requests for codes for bison. "There's a waiting line. It's a good thing that demand is exceed- ing the volunteers' ability to keep up." Ballentine, who also sits on the National Management Committee for codes of practice, adds that there is a five-year plan in place to have all codes completed. The codes cover everything from housing, ventilation and flooring, to transportation. While the codes are not law, they are politically cor- rect amongst the agriculture com- munity. "Someone outside the code, is typically not going to get much support from his peers," said Richards. "If you don't want to fol- low a code that's fine, but no is one is going to help you if there is a problem. It's essentially peer pres- sure. If a producer is wrong the producers are the first to show no mercy because it paints the whole industry with the same brush." "The codes give them a standard to follow," said Richards. "The humane society agrees that in the code these animals are being cared for properly. Do they have enough water, food and appropriate shelter and is there no sign of abuse?" The producers are aware that a positive image needs to be present- ed to the public, so it is them who asks for codes, Richards said. Each code committee involves represdntatives from the relevant producer and industry groups as well as the humane society, govern- ment and research people. They present the code, which is reviewed, approved and then pub- lished. Richards said he carries the code for swine with him when he visits farms and asks the farmers if they want the information or if they have it. "If they aren't already I tell them they should be using the code. Any commodity group that wants a good image of being good stewards should use it. It doesn't tell every- thing about farming, but it has the basics for its particular commodi- tY•" Anyone who is found to be doing something wrong could be charged with a federal offense, said Richards. The Humane Society, more used to dealing with cats and dogs, uses the codes when they have a complaint. An OFAC rep will attend with them. A spokesper- son from the Humane Society branch in Stratford said that first they will try to talk the producer into changing. If they refuse, they are charged which inevitably brings publicity, she said. "We try moral persuasion first." If found guilty, the producer could be obligated to pay every- thing from the vet's fees for care to to the destruction of the animals. "A lot of time in agriculture," Richards said, "people do what their parents did. But things are changing and the code addresses those newer techniques." Changes can mean amendments to existing codes. Richards explains, "When the code for pigs was written we weren't into trans- porting 14-day-old pigs. Now we CONTINUED ON A-3 They look happy Codes of practice are an essential guide for producer and as an education tool for the general public. While the codes are not legislated, they have been approved by the human society as the rules to follow.
