Frequently Asked Questions
What vehicles are used for livestock transport?
Livestock transport is typically carried out using specially designed trailers or trucks that provide ventilation, secure barriers, and appropriate space to ensure animal welfare. These vehicles are built to minimise stress during transport and are regularly cleaned and maintained. Proper livestock transport vehicles also meet local regulations for animal safety and hygiene standards.
How do you prepare animals for long-distance transport?
Before a long journey, it’s important to ensure animals are healthy, hydrated, and accustomed to loading procedures. Provide enough food and water beforehand, check that animals are fit to travel, and avoid overcrowding in transport. Proper documentation, including movement permits and health certificates, may also be required depending on the region.
Is livestock transport regulated in Australia?
Yes. Livestock transport is governed by strict animal welfare standards outlined in the Australian Animal Welfare Standards and Guidelines for the Land Transport of Livestock. These rules cover everything from vehicle design and driver responsibilities to maximum journey times and rest stops. Compliance is essential to protect animal health and avoid penalties.
