Feedlot Transport and Lairage Basics
The safe and efficient transport of livestock is a shared responsibility that extends across the entire supply chain. Decisions made before, during and after transport can influence animal welfare, workplace safety, compliance outcomes and processing efficiency.
ALFA's new Feedlot Transport and Lairage Basics course explores the key principles behind getting this right: Fit to Load, Chain of Responsibility, fatigue management, effluent management and short-duration lairage. Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, the course shows how effective planning, communication and risk management contribute to positive transport and welfare outcomes.
It's a timely reminder that good outcomes on the road start with good decisions well before the truck arrives.
