The police stopped a cattle truck on the Autobahn near Hohenbrunn.
He had loaded over seven tons too much weight.
On Thursday around 2 a.m., the officials found clear violations when checking the van.
The trailer truck loaded with 190 pigs was overloaded by more than 7 tons with a total weight of more than 47 tons.
The required minimum space required by the Animal Welfare Ordinance was also fallen well short of.
The police initiated fine proceedings against the driver and the transport company, both from the Straubing district.
The onward journey was prevented, the animals had to be unloaded at the next possible suitable unloading facility in Munich.
