ABSTRACT:
A vehicle for the long distance and humane transporting of livestock in which the vehicle is alternately suitable for the transporting of bulk particulate or granular matter as well as other cargo is disclosed. The vehicle (10) includes wheels such as wheels (12,14) for a train or for a truck trailer. An enclosing structure (20) for housing livestock is tightly joined to the support platform (48) such that the resulting enclosure is suitable for maintaining a selected environment. Entryway (26) and the window apertures (22,24) further include doors or windows which can be tightly closed to maintain the selective environment. An environmental system (41) is also included for maintaining the temperature and other environmental parameters at preselected levels. The animals are fed and watered by means of open containers (70 through 76) secured to the sidewalls (54,56) of the enclosure. There also are included first (94) and second (95) storage containers for storing the feed and water respectively. The environmental control system (41) is automatically controlled by a master control (95) which in a preferred embodiment is located in a separated area provided as human quarters. Also, the two support floors of the transporting vehicle may be moved such that after the vehicle is completely cleaned after transporting livestock, it may then be used as a closed container for transporting grains or other granular or particulate materials.
