The National Bison Association, Canadian Bison Association and individual producers have worked with our respective federal agencies to request this new procedure. We are very pleased that the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and the U.S. Department of <br>Agriculture responded to our requests,\u201d said Bruce Anderson, president of the National Bison Association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mark Silzer, President of the Canadian Bison Association noted, \u201cThese developments are very positive for bison and the bison industry. We have been working to remove the requirements for branding since the requirement was imposed about 10 years ago. Also, reduced requirements for importation of bison to Canada from the United States will provide easier access for Canadian producers to enhance their herds&#8217; genetic base.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new rule is effective as of April 8, 2015. A transitional periods will take place until May 8 to accommodate health certificates issued prior to the effective date of the new rule.
