Brussels, (Brussels Morning)- From Wednesday, the RMI provides a code orange because of the heat. In that case, the heat plan will also come into effect for the transport of livestock to slaughterhouses. This would mean, among other things, that no large livestock may be transported between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. This was reported by the cabinet of Flemish Minister of Animal Welfare Ben Weyts (N-VA) on Tuesday.
In 2020, Weyts concluded an agreement with professional associations Febev, VIP and NVP about loading, transporting and unloading livestock on hot days.
