This webpage provides information on the National CWD Voluntary Herd Certification Program as well as a list of Alberta domestic cervid producers who participate in that program and their current status.
Program Documents:
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency, with input from stakeholders, sets the National Standards for the Chronic Wasting Disease Voluntary Herd Certification Program (PDF, 211 KB). Based on these standards, administrators develop a Manual of Procedures to implement the Voluntary Herd Certification Program within their jurisdiction.
Alberta Agriculture and Forestry is currently the Administrator of the program for Alberta cervid producers. The following documents are available for Alberta cervid producers who wish to enrol in the program.
Alberta's Standard Operating Procedures for the CWD Voluntary Herd Certification Program (PDF, 100 KB) provide a detailed set of requirements for producers as well as the administrative operating procedures for the administrator to follow. This provides clarity for producers in terms of what is expected and how the administrator will implement the program, including advancement criteria, timelines, and approaches to suspensions and cancellations.
