NASNA’s MORAL IMPERATIVE

At NASNA International, we take immense pride in being a leading livestock exporter in Australia. Our journey in the livestock industry has been guided by an unshakable commitment to ensuring the well-being, health, and safety of every animal throughout the entire export supply chain. We believe that exceptional animal care, welfare, and health standards not only align with our core values but also enable us to deliver superior livestock exports that meet and exceed global expectations.

Adherence to Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock (ASEL):

One of the cornerstones of our approach to livestock export is our strict adherence to the Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock (ASEL). ASEL is a comprehensive framework that outlines the regulations and guidelines that govern the export of livestock from Australia. We recognize the importance of complying with these standards to ensure the humane treatment and responsible handling of animals.

Our commitment to ASEL standards is evident in every aspect of our operations:

1. Transportation: We use specially designed and well-maintained livestock transport vessels and vehicles to ensure animals are transported with the utmost care. Our facilities are equipped to handle animals with precision and comfort, addressing key elements such as space, ventilation, and cleanliness.

2. Nutrition and Hydration: At NASNA, we understand that animals must be provided with adequate nutrition and hydration during transportation. We prioritize the availability of clean water and appropriate feed to ensure the health and well-being of the animals throughout the journey.

3. Health and Veterinary Care: Regular veterinary checks are a non-negotiable part of our process. We ensure that animals are certified as fit for export, and our veterinarians oversee their health throughout the journey. Sick or injured animals receive immediate attention and care.

4. Handling and Restraint: Our staff is trained to handle animals with care and respect, minimizing stress and injury during loading, unloading, and transportation. We follow best practices for restraint to prevent harm or discomfort.

5. Environmental Conditions: We maintain strict control over environmental conditions, such as temperature and humidity, to provide a comfortable and safe environment for the animals during transportation.

Best Possible Animal Care, Welfare, and Health:

Our commitment goes beyond regulatory compliance. At NASNA International, we consistently strive for the highest standards of animal care, welfare, and health. We consider it our responsibility to:

1. Continuous Improvement: We actively seek opportunities to enhance our animal care procedures and protocols, adopting the latest advancements in the field to minimize stress and improve the overall well-being of the animals.

2. Staff Training and Education: Our team members receive ongoing training in animal behavior, handling, and welfare. This ensures that they are well-prepared to provide the best possible care to the animals entrusted to us.

3. Research and Innovation: We support research and innovation in the livestock industry, collaborating with experts to explore new ways to enhance animal care, welfare, and health.

4. Stakeholder Engagement: We actively engage with all stakeholders, including government bodies, industry associations, and animal welfare organizations, to stay aligned with evolving standards and best practices in animal care.

In conclusion, at NASNA International, we are dedicated to the responsible and compassionate export of livestock from Australia. Our unwavering commitment to adhering to ASEL standards and consistently striving for the best possible animal care, welfare, and health sets us apart as a leader in the industry. We believe that by prioritizing the well-being of the animals in our care, we contribute to the broader global efforts to ensure a humane and sustainable livestock export industry.
