The Animal Health and Production Risk Analysis Framework represents the protocol of the Animal Health and Production Division and the animal health component of APFRAN for conducting risk analyses and disease status evaluations. The protocol describes the processes for the initiation and conduction of risk analyses for the import and export of animals and animal products, safety of veterinary biologicals, assessment of domestic disease control programs and activities and country/ region/ zone disease status evaluations. The appendices of this protocol comprise tables of animal health hazards associated with the import of animals and animal products into Canada and a copy of the Sanitary Phytosanitary Agreement (April 1994) of the World Trade Organization. A list of Completed Activities indicates the risk analyses, evaluations and other activities achieved by the Animal Health Risk Analysis Group for the years 1992 to 2002.
