Befähigungsnachweis für Tiertransporte beantragen

Do you want to transport animals? Then it is best to seek advice, as there are different requirements depending on the animals to be transported and the reason for the transportation.

Certain requirements apply to the transportation of animals in order to protect the animals being transported. The relevant ordinances regulate, among other things, the handling of animals during all transportation processes, such as loading, the permitted duration of transportation, the necessary space requirements and ensuring that the animals are supplied with food during transportation.

For animals that are not used to being transported, in particular, every journey is a burden. This applies in particular if the usual care times are exceeded.

Anyone who transports animals must have the necessary knowledge and skills to do so. Persons who transport farm animals by road for commercial purposes over a distance of more than 65 km require a certificate of competence.

Transport companies and transport vehicles require an animal welfare license.

Anyone wishing to transport animals must observe the legal regulations for the protection of animals.

Please contact the veterinary and food inspection authority of your district, which is also responsible for the independent towns in its area.
