Normally journey times may not exceed eight hours. However, where vehicles meet standards concerning bedding, ventilation, access and other welfare concerns, journey times may be extended as follows:
• Young animals: nine hours, followed by one hour's rest, then a further nine hours, • Pigs: 24 hours with permanent access to water, • Horses: 24 hours with watering every eight hours, • Cattle, sheep and goats: 14 hours, followed by one hour's rest, then a further 14 hours. These sequences can be repeated if animals are unloaded, fed, watered and rested for at least 24 hours in approved locations.
EU rules governing animal transit are currently implemented in Great Britain by the Welfare of Animals (Transport) Order 1997 (WATO).
