WEEKLY NEWS
This is a weekly newsletter that is emailed or faxed to our members every week and is also available on the ALRTA website. It contains important information for livestock transporters to help you in your day-to-day operations and to keep abreast of what the ALRTA is doing and how we are tackling the issues impacting on our industry.
VICTORIAN LIVESTOCK LOADING SCHEME
This important initiative was instigated by the LRTAV. We now coordinate the only training across Victoria to ensure your drivers are compliant.
ANIMAL WELFARE
Animal welfare is the highest priority for livestock transporters, as they understand that the health and well-being of the animals in their care are paramount to ethical and reponsible transport. Transporters are committed to adhering to stringent standards and guidelines and best practices that ensure animals are treated humanely throughout the journey. By prioritizing animal welfare, livestock transporters not only comply with regulations but also foster public trust and contribute to the overall sustainability of the agricultural industry. Their dedication to humane treatment reflects a deep respect for the animals and the vital role they play in food production.
