Transporters

Livestock trading agents, auctioneers and transporters have an important role to play as links in the production chain, even though their contact with the animal may be short-lived. They have to:

• put in place a bookkeeping system with detailed records of all animals passing through their hands (identification numbers and dates of transactions at the very least);
• regularly notify (on a weekly or monthly basis) the central authority of all animal movements both into and out of their enterprises;
• maintain animal welfare standards in terms of the facilities they use, animal management, vehicle standards and acceptable driving practices.
