Overview
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, with input from stakeholders, sets the National Standards for the Chronic Wasting Disease Herd Certification Program.
Based on these standards, administrators developed a Standard Operating Procedures Manual (see below) to implement the Herd Certification Program within their jurisdiction.
The Alberta government administers the program for Alberta cervid producers.
The established anniversary dates for the program are:
- December 31: Elk-only herds
- December 31: Combined elk and deer herds
- March 31: Deer only herds
Documents
The following documents are available for Alberta cervid producers who wish to enrol in the program.
