Livestock exports by air

The Australian Standards for the Export of Livestock (ASEL) requires exporters to provide an End of Journey report to the department for every livestock consignment exported by air. The Livestock exports by air report report is compiled from information in the End of Journey reports and includes statistics on mortalities (current as at 30 April 2025).
