NZ Livestock Transport Assurance (NZLTA)

NEW ZEALAND FARM ASSURED PROGRAMMES

Safe and efficient transport, with a focus on animal welfare, is a vital part of any integrated supply chain

​In 2024 the management of New Zealand Land Transport Assurance (NZLTA) was incorporated under NZFAI, consolidating supply chain assurance for red meat and wool under one organisation.​

Under this programme, NZLTA-certified depots are audited every two years. Site, truck, crate, driver, and animal welfare checks are carried out at random, throughout the year.
