Cattle slaughter and transport laws vary by state in India. HerdSetu is for the sale of live dairy, draught and breeding animals only. Sellers must comply with all central and state laws (including the Transport of Animals Rules, 1978 - vet fitness certificate and max 6 cattle per vehicle) and hold any required permits. HerdSetu does not arrange transport and is not a party to any transaction. This is not legal advice.
