Complete before loading begins. Assess every animal for fitness to travel. Check the vehicle thoroughly. Plan the journey to minimise time and stress. Carry all required documentation.
A pre-loading and transport checklist for farmers and livestock transporters verifying that vehicles, facilities, and animals meet welfare requirements before livestock transport begins. Covers vehicle condition and cleanliness, loading ramp and handling facilities, animal fitness-to-travel assessment, transport documentation, bedding and water provisions, journey time planning, and the welfare checks required during and after the journey.
Animal transport is regulated by welfare legislation in most countries — animals must be fit to travel, vehicles must be suitable, and journey times must be managed. Non-compliance results in prosecution, transport bans, and abattoir rejection. This checklist ensures every transport meets welfare standards and creates the documented record that enforcement officers and auditors require.
