Biosecurity Measures
Our commitment to preventing disease transmission during transport is paramount. We implement stringent biosecurity measures, including vehicle disinfection before and after each journey and health screenings for all poultry before boarding.

Dedicated Duck Transportation Solutions
Specialised Duck Care in Transit: Our transportation services for ducks are designed with their specific needs in mind. Ducks require access to water not just for drinking but also to maintain their plumage and hygiene. Our vehicles have modified water systems that allow ducks to hydrate and groom themselves naturally during transit, reducing stress and promoting their well-being.
Temperature and Humidity Control for Ducks: Ducks are sensitive to temperature fluctuations, which can significantly impact their health. Our transport units are climate-controlled to maintain a consistent environment that mimics their natural habitats, ensuring ducks remain comfortable throughout their journey.

Enhanced Chicken Care During Transport: Chickens require careful handling to prevent stress and injury. Our compartments are designed to ensure that each chicken has sufficient space, and the environments are kept calm and quiet to prevent panic and distress.
Biosecurity for Chickens: Preventing the spread of disease is crucial, especially when transporting chickens. We implement strict biosecurity measures, including disinfection protocols before and after each journey and health checks to ensure that all chickens are disease-free and fit for travel.
Transportation Solutions for Other Fowl
Guinea Hen Transport Services: Guinea hens require careful handling due to their skittish nature. Our services include specially designed quiet and darkened compartments that help keep these birds calm during transit.
