The NVWA also publishes inspection results on the transportworthiness of animals. The most recent figures, from the year 2024, mention only 24 'reports of findings' on lame, injured, and sick animals. ^[2] However, those who look closely will see that the NVWA only publishes results from its limited, risk-oriented samples. These samples are a supplement to the daily, regular supervision of the NVWA in slaughterhouses. They are, for example, conducted outside the normal, scheduled hours of the regular inspectors. It can also involve transport checks on the road, where the NVWA examines a number of animals in a truck.

The results of the regular, daily checks on the delivery of animals in slaughterhouses — the data that Research Group Unheard requested via a Woo request — are not published.
