The invention relates to a device for directed animal traffic, comprising at least three sectors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), a round path (6), which is connected to the sectors (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), and, for each sector, a segment (7, 8, 9, 10) of the round path (6) that forms a transition region from the sector (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) into the round path (6), wherein the segment (7, 8, 9, 10) comprises a swinging gate (18, 19, 20, 21), which allows an animal to enter the round path (6) from a sector (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) and allows only one walking direction of the animal in the round path (6), and a selection unit (22, 23, 24, 25, 26) arranged after the swinging gate (18, 19, 20, 21) as viewed in the walking direction of the animal, by means of which selection unit the animal is directed into the sector (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) or can walk further on the round path (6). The invention aims to reduce livestock transportation issues that involve animal hierarchy.
