Live animals: yes, even the Christmas chicken
11 August 2026 · 1 min read
From day-old chicks to the December goat, animal transport is real Nigerian logistics: done humanely and honestly.
Every December, Nigeria's roads fill with chickens and goats heading to family pots, and all year round poultry farmers move day-old chicks, layers, and broilers between farms and markets. It is real commerce: rarely treated like it.
Animals are cargo that breathes. Heat, delay, and rough handling are not just cruel, they are losses: a stressed bird is a lighter bird, and a dead one is money gone.
SEIRS carries live animals as their own declared category: the rider knows what they are carrying before they accept, trips are direct rather than pooled with other errands, and the short-leg model keeps time-in-transit low. From the farm gate to the market cage, or the Christmas chicken to grandma's compound: booked, tracked, and arriving on its feet.
