Live Trade Animal Welfare Partnership

The Australian Government announced the Live Trade Animal Welfare Partnership in the 2009-10 Budget. Through the Partnership, the government and Australian producers and livestock exporters will invest $3.2 million over three years to further improve animal welfare and support trade in overseas markets.

The Live Trade Animal Welfare Partnership builds on the Live Animal Trade Program, which has funded a range of improvements, including better infrastructure to reduce livestock stress or injury and training for feedlot, abattoir and transport staff in overseas markets.
