It is the first time the trade has displayed at an Australian royal show.

The WA Live Exporters Association (WALEA) and Meat and Livestock Australia/Livecorp joined forces to educate the general public about the process behind live exports.

WALEA chairman John Edwards said the display was designed to take the industry to the general public and also dispel some myths about the trade.

"The general public are often exposed to only one side of the story and we wanted to show exactly what takes place within the industry, from the farm gate to when the sheep or cattle arrive at their overseas destination," Mr Edwards said.

A replica live export ship animal pen with sheep showed how much space was available for livestock their access to feed and water.

Mr Edwards said the response had been excellent.

"We have had some very good feedback and more positive comments than negative," he said.

"This was about educating people and raising awareness of just how committed the trade is to animal welfare.
