J Transport (Pty) Ltd abides by the codes of practice for the handling of livestock in South Africa with the objective of eliminating cruel or inhumane handling and transport of livestock throughout the transit process.
We utilise an animal’s natural herding tendencies so as to avoid excessive force during loading and unloading.
We propose the following to ensure that your animals can be transported reasonably stress free.
Our drivers are specifically trained to handle and transport animals. With the objective of minimising or eliminating bruisers or injuries that could result in disease or cause carcases to be rejected. We are well aware that exposing an animal to stress during transportation can have a negative effect on the quality of an animal’s meat and thus impact a farmer’s long term profits. We go to great lengths to ensure that animals in our care are not subjected to dehydration during transit resulting in unnecessary loss of weight in an animal.
In order to prevent intra-cellular dehydration, we strongly advise that rest stops be accommodated where animals are due to travel more than 500 km. Where pigs are to be transported over long distances, we advise that water be provided for.
