Challenges and Opportunities in Ensuring the Welfare of Livestock during Transportation in Nigeria
Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine challenges and opportunities in ensuring the welfare of livestock during transportation in Nigeria
Methodology: This study adopted a desk methodology. A desk study research design is commonly known as secondary data collection. This is basically collecting data from existing resources preferably because of its low cost advantage as compared to a field research. Our current study looked into already published studies and reports as the data was easily accessed through online journals and libraries.
Findings: The study identified challenges, ranging from overcrowding and rough handling to inadequate rest and water provisions, underscore the need for comprehensive interventions to address welfare concerns effectively. Additionally, contextual factors such as regulatory variability, transporter perspectives, and geographical disparities further complicate the landscape of livestock transportation welfare.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Theory of Planned Behavior & Social Exchange Theory may be used to anchor future studies on challenges and opportunities in ensuring the welfare of livestock during transportation in Nigeria. Promote the adoption of innovative technologies, such as GPS tracking, real-time monitoring systems, and automated watering and feeding systems, to improve the welfare of livestock during transportation. Advocate for the harmonization of welfare standards and regulatory frameworks across different jurisdictions to promote consistency and accountability in livestock transportation practices.
