Frequently Asked Questions
What is needed to transport live animals?
Have the corresponding authorizations, such as the certificate of authorization for the transport of live animals and, in some cases, a permit specific to the type of animal and the distance of the journey. In addition, it is mandatory to have a health certificate issued by an authorized veterinarian, which confirms the good health of the animals and their fitness to travel.
Another crucial factor is the type of vehicle used. This must be specially conditioned for each species, with adequate space, good ventilation and temperature controls to ensure the comfort of the animals during the entire journey. Compliance with animal welfare regulations is essential, as inadequate transport can cause stress, injury or even loss of life.
What documents must be on board the vehicle during the transport of live animals?
It is essential to have an animal health certificate, which must be issued by an authorized veterinarian certifying that the animals are in good health and fit for transport. This document is mandatory and must accompany the animals during the entire journey, both nationally and internationally.
In addition, the specific transport authorization for live animals must be carried on board, which validates that the company and the driver are qualified to carry out this type of transport. This authorization includes information on the type of vehicle, its equipment and the conditions under which the animals will be transported, ensuring that all animal welfare regulations are complied with.
Another essential document is the transport guide, which details the origin, destination and route of the trip, as well as the quantity and type of animals transported. Export or import permits must also be included, if necessary, in case the movement is international.
What Spanish regulations govern the transport of live animals?
This regulation establishes the minimum requirements for driver training, vehicle conditions and the necessary documentation for each type of transport, both for domestic and international routes.
Among the most important points that must be complied with are: the adequacy of vehicles, which must have adequate ventilation, sufficient space and systems for feeding and hydrating the animals during the journey; the training of transporters, who must have specific training in animal welfare; and the correct planning of the journey, which must include rest times and temperature control, especially on long journeys.
What is the most suitable means of transport for live animals?
The most common and versatile means of transport for moving live animals is road transport. This method allows greater flexibility in terms of routes and stops, ensuring that the animals can rest, feed and water along the way. However, the vehicles used must be well equipped to ensure the welfare of the animals.
Shipping is also an option for large volumes of animals, such as livestock, on international routes. However, it requires meticulous planning and special care to avoid potential complications.
