Abstract: The purpose of this collection is to ensure the humane movement of horses to slaughter. APHIS requires that food, water, and rest must be provided to these animals. APHIS also prohibits the commercial transportation of horses considered to be unfit for travel, and prohibit the use of electric prods on these animals.

Emergency Justfication: APHIS is requesting emergency clearance to maintain the minimum standards to ensure the humane movement of equines for slaughter. Assembly points, feedlots, and stockyards will ensure the humane movement of equines sold as slaughter horses.
