A review into the live sheep trade has been released.

It's prompting reforms surrounding sheep-welfare, on voyages to the middle east during the northern Summer.

It has also seen the live export industry decide to develop new standards, and a new code of conduct.

But animal welfare groups are adamant sheep cannot be treated well on these trips, during the hottest months from May to October.

Reporter Roshai Murdoch spoke with Animals Australia Chief Executive Glenys Oogjes about the review, and what she thinks needs to happen now.
