Livestock, meat and transport sectors working together across North America for humane, safe and effective livestock transport.

Livestock producers, transporters and meat processors each deal with different business challenges but all share a critical interest – the welfare of livestock under their care. This priority and the benefits of working together to address it was a key focus of the recent Livestock Transport Conference in Calgary, AB. Themed “Are we there yet?” the conference brought together over 120 people including transporters, livestock producers, researchers and other industry leaders from across North America. “Livestock care is a growing focus of industry and consumers worldwide, and livestock transport is one of the most critical and visible components,” says Dr. Duane Landals, a veterinarian and a board member of Alberta Farm Animal Care, one of the conference sponsors.
