Transport of pigs

I have it in my mind that pigs cannot be transported in the same trailer as other species. Is this correct?
I wanted to take a pig and some lambs to the abbattoir for self supply. The only regulations I can find say that pigs must be handled and transported separate from other species. Does this mean a separate compartment on the same trailer, or not in the same trailer?

I do believe it needs to be a separate Compartment. Woodheads were happy to take our sheep and pigs on the same wagon and I think we take some for our own use to the abatoir in one run but with a separator door in.
