Abstract
This paper presents the findings of the cattle well-being in transport audit conducted in the period from 2007 till 2012. Respective veterinary check-ups were audited: upon dispatch, upon arrival, at rest, sale (at markets or cattle collection points), and in-transport checks. The number of cattle heads subject to the audit, the number of cattle heads that proved irregularities and correlations between those numbers in the previous years were analysed. Moreover, the audit of the percentage share of the animals that had proven irregularities has allowed for accurate assessment of irregularities occurrence rate. Positive correlation between the percentage share of the cattle heads that proved irregularities and the audit years has been found.
