Large animals shall be loaded in such a way as to allow an attendant to move between them.

When assembling trains and during all other movement of railway wagons every precaution shall be taken to avoid jolting a wagon containing animals.

Every opportunity shall be taken to check the animals, as provided for in Article 24 of this Convention, whenever the railway wagons stop or weather conditions change.
