Pig Code of Practice - Progress Updates
June 2025
The official announcement for the pig Code’s update was released on May 15, 2025, along with a top-of-mind survey. Both the Code Committee and the Scientific Committee are in place; members can be found here.
An important preliminary step in this process is to invite the industry, general public, and all other interested individuals to submit their top-of-mind thoughts on the welfare of pigs. The top-of-mind survey was open from May 15th to June 4th. This input will help to inform the Code update.
Work is underway to schedule virtual orientation meetings for all committee members. It is anticipated that the first in-person meeting for this Code update will be in early fall.
February 2025
An update to the 2014 Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Pigs will be initiated soon. Watch for the official announcement and the Top-of-Mind survey.
