Recently, Eyes on Animals met with Pezzaioli, a large manufacturing company of livestock trucks used all over Europe. We showed them photos taken during EonA/AWF investigations illustrating welfare problems that take place when the design of the truck and its accessories is not good. This discussion lead to Pezzaioli improving the design of their corner automatic water troughs for adult cattle. They will adjust the design so that there is more space for the bovines to actually place their mouth into the trough. Additionally, they are going to add to their instruction manual which species should not be transported in them. Because their dividers cannot be made long enough to touch the ground when only two levels are used, adult cattle can risk injury or trampling when they get stuck in the gap. They will indicate this warning in their manual.
