Mission Statement

We support:

​

1.  A "Farm gate-to-Plate" system of food safety assurance in the production of poultry products.  This includes validated HACCP programmes throughout the production-marketing process.

​

2.  The accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases and sensitivity testing before birds are given antibiotics.

​

3. The viability of all aspects of the Canadian poultry enterprise.  This involves health surveillance and risk assessment to protect Canadian and export consumers and provide them with safe, high-quality poultry products.

​

4.  Bird welfare, by providing an optimum environment including fresh air, clean water, dry litter and adequate room so that they remain healthy and in a state of well-being.

​

5.  Prevention of diseases based on good management practices, biosecurity and hygiene during growth, production and transportation.

​

6.  Continuous progress of the poultry industry through education and research, which we source, develop and share with our clients, industry partners and colleagues.

Vision Statement

​

CAPV - ACVA will be the premium national resource for knowledge relating to health, welfare and food safety for the commercial poultry industry throughout Canada.
