What is the validity period for an interstate livestock entry permit?

The validity period for an interstate livestock entry permit is typically 15 days. This time frame is designed to accommodate the logistical planning and travel needs of livestock movement across state lines while ensuring that the appropriate health and safety protocols are maintained. A 15-day validity allows producers sufficient time to transport their animals, complete necessary health inspections, and comply with any additional state-specific requirements.

Other options, such as 5, 10, and 30 days, do not align with standard practices for livestock transport permits, which are specifically regulated to balance the need for timely movement of animals with adequate health monitoring and compliance measures.
