Canada is looking to update its Feeds Regulations, the last comprehensive review of which took place in 1983. The Regulations have fallen largely out of date given the risks and operating environment influenced by several changing factors such as nutritional awareness, feed manufacturing and distribution, globalization of trade, recognition that feed is an integral component that underpins food production, heightened consumer awareness of food safety, and emergence of new pathogens and disease agents (e.g. bovine spongiform encephalopathy).

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is proposing Tables of Maximum Nutrient Values for Feeds. This includes limits on the permitted levels of zinc allowed in starter piglet diets, the values of which are currently still under discussion. Comments received during previous consultations indicated that stakeholders desired higher values.
