Welfare consequences estimated to start and develop over journey time

Type of welfare consequence	Welfare consequence	Development over time	Expected development over time
Continuous or semi‐continuous	Motion stress	Motion stress continuous throughout the transit stage	Severity will increase over time leading to fatigue
	Sensory overstimulation	Sensory overstimulation repeated intermittent	Can lead to fear and distress
	Resting problems	Continuous throughout the transit stage	Severity will increase over time leading to fatigue
Progressively developing	Prolonged thirst	Available information shows that when measured after 12 h of transport without effectively accessing water, behavioural and physiological changes indicative of thirst can be present.	Severity will increase with time leading to dehydration
	Prolonged hunger	Available information shows that when measured after 12 h of transport without provision of feed, behavioural and physiological changes indicative of hunger can be present.	Severity will increase with time leading to weakness and exhaustion
Sporadic	Pain and/or discomfort from health conditions	May start any time if undetected pre‐existing health conditions are present or new conditions occur during transport	If present, severity will increase with time leading to suffering
