The transport of the pigs, sows and piglets is carried out with great care. We have several trucks that are selected on the basis of the number of pigs, sows and piglets to be transported. We also look at the location where has to be loaded
All trucks have a cross-ventilated superstructure. As a result, the animals are transported in a more stable climate. The temperature can be set for each level after which the ventilation is automatically regulated. Through the ventilation system there is enough fresh air for the animals.
This system has several advantages including preventing the spread of animal diseases and not losing feces during driving, loading and unloading.
Piglet transport is mainly carried out by a separate truck with automatic disinfection and heating system. See Disinfected and heated piglet transport
After every transport, all trucks are cleaned very carefully. The main focus is on the welfare of the animals and the prevention of the spread of diseases from farm to farm. All drivers take part in the CCV animal transport course every five years. They therefore have the certificate of competent animal transport.
We are also certified as a company according to the quality regulation QLL.
