Transporting live animals—especially fragile, one-day-old chicks—is one of the most time-sensitive and high-risk logistics operations. Even minor delays or mishandling can lead to significant losses.

In a recent assignment, Orient International Relocations successfully managed the safe transport of thousands of day-old chicks from Australia to Nepal, ensuring precise handling, fast clearance, and secure last-mile delivery to Dhading.

Delays at any stage; especially at the airport can significantly impact survival rates.
