ABSTRACT:
In a method for conveying live animals, a conveying channel having a dosing belt is moved in a conveying direction and side walls extending along the dosing belt separated by animal shoulder widths confine the animals. Standing animals are loaded onto the belt in a column with the head of each animal oriented in a desired direction relative to the conveying direction and with separation between the animals. Separating barriers transversely across the dosing belt are moved with the dosing belt and the animals to maintain separation between the animals. A chest belt can be employed to carry the animals, substantially fixing their positions.
