Animal Transport Driver

Chauffeurs for animal transports carry out animal transports carefully and in accordance with the requirements of the Animal Welfare Act. They ensure that cows, sheep, pigs, horses and chickens arrive safely and undamaged at their destination. Loading and unloading should be carried out in such a way that the animals are not exposed to unnecessary fear and risk of injury. It takes knowledge of the respective animal species, patience and determination to get the animals safely in and out of the transport vehicles. The destination of the transport can be an alp, another farm, an exhibition or the slaughterhouse.
