Transportation of large cattle by rail from China to Europe

Live cargo includes animals, fish, birds, and insects that must be transported under specific conditions to preserve their life and health. Today we will discuss how to transport them properly and how to find a contractor for the delivery of animals by rail.

Rules for rail transportation of live cargo from China to Europe

1. Animals must be healthy and prepared for transportation, including providing necessary documents and health certificates.
2. They must be in cages and containers according to the requirements and standards set by the railway companies, and provided with the necessary amount of feed and water.
3. Some types of animals, such as fish, birds, and insects, may require special transportation conditions, including temperature and humidity conditions.
4. Various permits and documents may be required for the transportation of live cargo.

The transportation of live cargo must comply with the laws and standards established by national and international organizations, such as the International Air Transport Association for Live Animals (IATA) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).

What railway transport and containers are used for transporting live cargo

For transporting live cargo by rail, various types of transport and containers are used, depending on the type of animals and transportation conditions. These include:

1. Livestock cars — special cars for transporting animals, equipped with ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems, as well as drinking and feeding systems.
2. Containers. Rail transportation of animals in containers is the most popular, as they restrict the animal's movement within the car and are divided into special sections.
3. Bags and containers for insects: used for transporting insects such as bees and ants. They provide convenient containers and ensure necessary ventilation for the insects.
4. Cages for transporting animals by rail. Must be securely fixed in the car.

It is very important to consider the dimensions of containers for rail transportation of animals, selecting them for the specific type of live cargo. The animal must be able to stand fully upright, not be restricted in movement, and have access to water and feed. The containers themselves should be easy to clean and well-ventilated.
