83 Ventilation for livestock
(1) Livestock must be provided with adequate flow through ventilation close to the containment unit, either above or below it, or both.
(2) If a road vehicle has a ventilation system that works effectively only when the vehicle is moving, it must not be used for sea transport.
(3) A horse float must have an opening in both the front and rear of the float, each measuring at least 0.4 m2.
(4) If a mare with a foal at foot is transported in a float and the doors of the float are required to be open for ventilation, the foal must be restrained to prevent escape from the float.
(5) If livestock is carried on an enclosed deck of a ro-ro vessel, the master must ensure that the ventilation system of the vessel is run continuously.
