6.3 Analysis and action plan for animal welfare on farms
In general the level of compliance on farms is quite good. The highest number of infringements are
noted on farms with small ruminants or pigs. On farms with small ruminants the infringements
concern for the most part the lack of or incorrect keeping of the registers. On pig farms the most
common infringements concern insufficient enrichment material or insufficient lighting. Especially
the provision of sufficient enrichment material remains a point of attention. Efforts will continue to
be made with regard to sensibilisation and enforcement. In the Brussels region, no inspections were
made in 2020 due to Covid restrictions in farms but there are less infringements usually because in
Brussels these are mainly small hobby breeders.

6.5 Analysis and action plan for animal welfare during transport
Flanders: Most of the transport controls are done on arrival at the slaughterhouse. The Animal
Welfare Unit also carries out a small number of road checks in cooperation with the police. A
significant part of the observed infringements are committed by foreign transporters, which poses
difficulties for enforcement. These infringements are sent to the national contact point of the
member state concerned. In Flanders there's since the end of 2020 an additional number of official
veterinarians that have been assigned to carry out animal welfare inspections in slaughterhouses.
This includes inspections on transport at arrival. This system will be evaluated and if needed
adapted in 2021. Brussels: Most of the transport controls are done on arrival at the slaughterhouse.
Transport to the slaughterhouse represents the largest part of the transport of agricultural animals in
the territory. Some road checks are also carried out by the police during certain occasional events
(Eid Feast). Infringements are generally committed by carriers coming from other Belgian regions
and these are in 99% of cases, linked to the transportability of animals (animals at the end of
gestation or having given birth, animals with fractures). Reports (procès-verbaux) are sent to the
breeder of origin and to the transporter.
6.6 Animal welfare at the time of killing
Flanders: The Animal Welfare Unit inspects each slaughterhouse at least once every year.
Additionally, each slaughter day there's also an official veterinarian from the FASFC present, who
also looks out for animal welfare. Since the end of 2020 the slaughterhouses are also almost daily
inspected by official veterinarians employed by the Flemish government, who focus solely on animal
welfare. This system will be evaluated and if needed adapted in 2021. In 2020 22 PV's were drawn
up for infringements committed by slaughterhouses.
6.7 Comment box
The numbers mentioned under "administrative actions/measures" are the numbers of inspections
which have resulted in an official warning or a PV (proces-verbal). The number of farm inspections
for sheep includes these for goats.
