What must accompany a primary enclosure when transporting animals?

The requirement for a label describing the animals to accompany a primary enclosure during transport is essential for ensuring the safety and well-being of the animals. This label typically includes important information such as the species and breed of the animal, any special care instructions, and emergency contact information. This information is crucial for anyone handling the animals during transit, as it allows for appropriate actions to be taken if needed, particularly in emergencies or if there are specific needs related to the animal's care.

Including a label enhances communication and helps prevent any misunderstandings regarding the animals being transported. It also aids in compliance with legal requirements for transporting animals under the Animal Welfare Act. Transporting animals without proper labeling could result in improper care or handling, which could potentially endanger the animals' welfare.

This kind of labeling does not include other elements such as a health certificate, which though important, serves a different purpose primarily related to the animal's medical status rather than the immediate requirements for transport and care during transit.
