The transport of farm livestock was the subject of the seminar held
from 7 - 8 July 1981 at the Commission of the European Communities
(CECl, Directorate General for Agriculture, Brussels as part of the
work of the Division Coordinating Agricultural Research. The aims
of the seminar were to examine the knowledge available on how the
physiology and behaviour of animals may change during transport; to
consider the significance of these changes in relation to welfare
and economics and to assess those actions which as experimental
projects or observational studies might be proposed to fill the
most important gaps in our knowledge of the welfare of farm animals
during transport. A number of conclusions can be drawn from the
proceedings: 1. Much knowledge is available from both scientific
observations and practical experience which could be used to
improve the transport of livestock. Methods of loading, the
construction of vehicles, ships, crates and aircraft could benefit
from the application of existing knowledge. It is less clear
whether it is best to concentrate on disseminating existing
knowledge by education and advice or to contemplate more
regulations. 2. Losses by down-grading at slaughter can largely be
attributed to the ways in which animals are transported and
handled.
