Animal Welfare Transport

Animal welfare during transport is a priority for both regulatory authorities and livestock owners. The welfare of animals can be compromised during transport due to overcrowding, poor ventilation, or rough handling. That’s why laws and guidelines exist to protect animals in transit, ensuring that their basic needs are met throughout the journey.

One key aspect of animal welfare transport is selecting the right vehicle. Transport trailers must provide adequate space, ventilation, and protection from the elements. It’s also essential to ensure that the animals are healthy and fit to travel, with checks for any injuries or signs of illness before the journey begins.

During transportation, animals should have access to food and water, particularly on long trips. Frequent stops are required to check on the well-being of the animals and address any potential issues. The drivers and handlers must be trained in humane handling techniques, reducing the risk of stress or injury. Overall, prioritizing animal welfare ensures a more humane and effective transport process.
