There are several important factors in preparing to ship livestock, not the least of which is ensuring that they arrive at their destination healthy and alive. Needless to say, you’ll also want them to be delivered as quickly and inexpensively as possible.
Here are some important factors to consider, as well as important questions to ask before choosing a transport provider:
Tips on How to Transport Livestock
* Reducing stress is of major importance in the delivery of healthy animals. The truck or trailer should have non-slip floors to reduce the chances of the animal being injured or injuring other animals.
* Ask about how the container is temperature controlled to reduce the risk of animals overheating.
* Adequate food and water must be provided.
* Does the transporter provide adequate ventilation, especially if there are numerous animals to be transported?
* Does the driver have insurance and what procedures are in place in case of an accident on the road?
* What is the level of prior experience with transporting livestock?
* Is the truck or trailer insulated against not only inclement weather but what about excessive noise? Almost all animals will experience some level of stress when being transported but some are more sensitive to excessive noise than others.
* Will you need to provide certificates or other important paperwork? You should also check if the truck has the necessary permits to transport livestock.
