Animal Transportation
Animal transport is an important part of the logistics process. This means moving animals from their place of origin to their destination, which may be a market, processing plant or other facility. Livestock can be transported by road, air, sea, or rail. Each type of transport has its advantages and disadvantages, and the choice of transport depends on factors such as the type of animal to be transported, the distance to be transported and the purpose.
Animals Handling
Livestock handling is another important area of livestock logistics. This includes loading and unloading animals and caring for them during transport. Proper handling techniques are essential to ensure the safety and welfare of animals and to prevent injury and distress. Animal caretakers must be trained and experienced in animal behavior and welfare to ensure that animals are properly handled. Temperature controlled containers are used to confirm comfort and survival of the animals for the tedious journey.
