Transportation of animals and feed is possible only with veterinary accompanying documents (VSD). During transportation, it is necessary to ensure protection of animals from bad weather conditions and injuries. In addition, vehicles must provide sufficient space for animals. For trips longer than 6 hours, it is necessary to have a supply of bedding, water and feed.

The transport used for transporting feed must not be the same as that used for animals. Once the new order comes into force, the previously valid rules adopted in 2017 and related only to the transport of pigs will be cancelled.
