How long is the interstate livestock entry permit valid?

The interstate livestock entry permit is valid for 15 days. This time frame is established to ensure that livestock can be transported in compliance with health and safety regulations without the need for constant re-permitting for short-term moves. A 15-day validity period allows for timely transport of animals across state lines while maintaining appropriate health checks and regulations that protect animal welfare and prevent disease transmission between states. This duration strikes a balance between efficiency for livestock owners and necessary biosecurity measures.
