Over the past 20 years, research has supported ongoing welfare improvements in Australia’s livestock export industry. However, literature reviews within RD&E projects are often limited by time, budget, and expertise, leading to missed or underused findings. This review will consolidate peer-reviewed publications, industry and other literature which focus on animal welfare across the livestock export supply chain, from Australian pre-export facilities to destination markets, to identify critical gaps and underutilised knowledge. It will also consider relevant global literature to identify transferable insights, technologies, or practices. By mapping the current evidence base, the review will guide future investment, inform policy and practice, and highlight industry improvements driven by research adoption.
