Humane Slaughter Association details the requirements for the transport of poultry

The Humane Slaughter Association (HSA) has produced a new technical note detailing the requirements for those involved in the transport of poultry.

It follows the implementation earlier this year of the new EC regulations covering the welfare of livestock during transport. The technical note provides a comprehensive description of the general requirements and specific provisions for poultry.

Copies of the technical note are available from the HSA office (tel: 01582 831919) at £1.00 each including postage and handling, or can be freely downloaded from the HSA website.
