Version 2.2 Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock
The Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock (Version 2.2) set the basic standards for the conduct of the livestock export trade, as required by the Australian, state and territory governments.
The standards cover the six major steps along the export chain:
- Sourcing and on-farm preparation of livestock
- Land transport of livestock for export
- Management of livestock in registered premises
- Vessel preparation and loading
- On-board management of livestock
- Air transport of livestock
The livestock species covered by these standards include:
- cattle
- sheep
- goats
- buffalo
- deer and
- camelids (camels, llama, alpaca and vicunas).
Version 2.1 Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock have been amended and will now be known as Version 2.2 Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock.
