- The summers of 2018 and 2019 both experienced heat waves confirmed by the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) (minimum of 5 days ≥ 25oC and a minimum of 3 days ≥ 30oC). Under these types of weather conditions, animal transport takes place with a potential risk to animal welfare. The Enforcement directorate of the Netherlands Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA) has asked the office for Risk Assessment & Research (BuRO) to assess the risks to animal welfare of finishing pigs and broilers during transport at (extremely) high temperatures, taking into account animal indicators to monitor animal welfare.
