Course overview
The transportation of animals is a major part of farm life, and farmers have a legal responsibility to ensure their animals are transported in a way that won’t cause injury or unnecessary suffering to them. If you transport animals such as cattle, sheep, goats, pigs, equine or poultry on road journeys over 65km (up to and including eight hours), then you are required to undertake a qualification to ensure competence. Council Regulation (EC) No 1/2005 stipulates the importance of the protection of animals during transport and related operations. This regulation requires that those transporting and handling animals in connection with economic activity are trained in the relevant technical provisions of the Regulation.
