Canadian Feedlot Animal Care Assessment Tool

The National Cattle Feeders’ Association (NCFA) has developed a new Canadian Feedlot Animal Care Assessment tool for auditing animal welfare. This tool has earned Certified Audit status from the Professional Auditor Certification Organization, Inc. (PAACO) that sets standards in animal welfare audits, and is the first certified audit designed for the feedlot segment of the food production industry.
