Guidelines for humane handling, transport and slaughter of livestock 27 Ostriches - 0.9 Bulls and boars should be individually penned, and if tied, they should be able to lie down. Water must be easily available. Troughs should be high enough or protected to prevent animals from falling in and drowning. In cold climates, pens should have walls and roofs to protect animals from weather stress. In the tropics, a roof is necessary for holding pens to protect stock, particularly pigs, from heat stroke and sunburn. Water sprays in the pig pens are useful to cool pigs down (Fig. 18). In open pens without roof and shade, even free-range cattle may suffer (Fig.19). Ostrich pens can be partially enclosed to make them darker as this keeps the animals more docile (Fig. 20).

Spaces should be adjusted to prevent animals from getting through or stuck and injuring themselves (Table 2).
