Inspectors from AWF and EonA flew to Bulgaria yesterday. Considering that we will soon be giving a two-day training to the Bulgarian police and official veterinarians, we needed to check out the most current conditions for animals in transit there. Our team arrived early at the border between Bulgaria and Turkey this morning, to check on 5 trucks with Austrian pregnant heifers on board, destined for farms in Turkey. The team did not observe any visible violations of the transport regulation. The animals and the conditions inside were very good – lots of fresh straw, water and the animals were not overcrowded. They had received a 24-hour rest break in the EU before attempting to cross into Turkey. (Pregnant animals for further production are of higher value, and thus they fortunately often get better care than animals going for slaughter.)
