Safe Livestock Transport: How We Ensure the Welfare of Sheep, Pigs, and Cattle
Our goal in livestock transportation is to ensure animals reach their destination stress-free, healthy, and secure. Specializing in transporting sheep, pigs, and cattle, we adopt specific techniques and measures tailored to their needs. Here’s how we ensure their comfort and well-being throughout the journey:
Custom Vehicles and Equipment
Our vehicles are specifically designed for larger livestock, providing spacious interiors with proper ventilation—critical for long journeys. The floors are slip-resistant and easy to clean, prioritizing hygiene and stability.
For sheep, we provide separate compartments to prevent stress caused by overcrowding. Cattle are given more space to move freely, and temperature controls prevent overheating or chilling.
Animal-Specific Safety Measures
To ensure the safe restriction of movement during transport, each animal is secured according to its specific needs. Additionally, we spread bedding material free from ASF and PRRS pathogens on the floor, sourced exclusively from companies that fully comply with sustainability regulations.
For example for sheeps, we use comfortable and secure dividers to prevent injuries or jostling within the vehicle. When transporting pigs, we ensure they have sufficient space to rest, while for cattle, we provide high partition units to ensure the larger animals can stand steadily during the journey.
Continuous Monitoring and Care
Our team regularly monitors the condition of the animals during transport to promptly identify if any become restless or experience health issues. These checks are supported by modern equipment that allows us to continuously track the animals' temperature, movement, and behavior in the cargo area. Special attention is given to the quality and temperature of drinking water, which we ensure remains optimal regardless of the season, so the animals always have access to properly tempered water.
We also provide continuous food supply during transport, ensuring the animals receive the necessary nutrients. For longer journeys, we include rest stops where the animals can relax, helping maintain their freshness and well-being until the end of the journey.
Additional safety is provided by our 24/7 veterinary services. Through our international network, we have contracted veterinarians in every country who can be notified immediately and arrive on-site promptly if needed. This ensures the health of the animals is preserved even in unexpected situations.
Stress Reduction and Comfort
Sheep, pigs, and cattle are prone to stress, especially in unfamiliar environments or during transportation. To keep them as calm as possible, our vehicles are soundproofed to reduce external noise. Additionally, each animal is placed in an optimal arrangement that provides adequate space for movement while avoiding excessive empty areas, which could cause the animals to become startled or unsettled.
Professional Care and Readiness for Emergencies
During the handling of animals, our staff exercise exceptional care and patience with each individual animal. We are equipped with tools designed to ensure stress-free movement, such as herding paddle and restrainers that are both safe and effective for calmly transferring animals into or out of the vehicle. In the event of unexpected situations – whether it be a vehicle breakdown or a roadblock – we are fully prepared. Our transport vehicles are equipped with first aid kits and tools that can be used to set up a temporary mobile shelter if needed, providing a safe resting space for the animals.
Hygiene and Infection Prevention
To ensure the health of the animals, our transport vehicles undergo regular and thorough cleaning. Between each transport, the vehicles are disinfected to minimize the risk of infection, especially for pigs, which can be more susceptible to illnesses. The cleaning and disinfecting agents we use are carefully selected to avoid irritating the animals' skin, ensuring a comfortable journey for them.
