livestock truck

Farm animal transporter

A livestock truck is a large vehicle designed to transport farm animals—cattle, pigs, sheep, or poultry—from farms to markets, feedlots, or slaughterhouses.

These trucks have slatted sides for ventilation and specialized compartments to keep animals separated during transit: The livestock truck pulled up to the loading chute at dawn.
