Livestock carrier
A livestock carrier is a large ship used in the live export of sheep, cattle and goats. They are specially built new or converted from container ships. Livestock carriers are those ships, which specialize exclusively in the transportation of large numbers of live animals together with their requirements for the voyage. (Food, water, sawdust bedding, medication, etc.). Voyages on livestock carriers generally last from three days to three or four weeks. Some have lasted for months when disease outbreaks are suspected.
