Dogs, Sheep, Goats Even Your Car Exhaust Isn’t Safe These Days
Dogs, sheep, goats, and even car exhaust can pose safety risks these days. Here are some key points:
Transporting goats and sheep in a car is possible but requires precautions. Fit them in a secure area of the vehicle, use a tarp or dog bed, and tie them to the seat latches if needed. Pregnant or young animals may be calmer. Avoid packing them too tightly.
Vehicles transporting sheep and goats should have a roof, be fully enclosed, and have rounded edges inside. Ventilation openings are required. Partitions can help secure the animals. Provide adequate space per animal based on size and weight.

Ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and dust in livestock confinement units can be hazardous to human health. Noise from squealing pigs can cause pain and hearing damage. Proper ventilation and dust control measures are important.
Common sheep handling hazards include mustering with motorbikes, manually handling sheep, and loading/unloading for transport. Controlling these risks involves using the right equipment, working slowly and quietly with the animals, maintaining facilities, and communicating hazards to others.
