The ISCPA has appealed to the Government to end the practice of live animal exports, saying it damages "the reputation of the country".
It follows RTÉ Investigates publishing undercover footage recorded in a major cattle export facility in Co Kerry that revealed Irish bull calves being abused.
The footage showed the calves being repeatedly struck in the face, force-fed, jabbed with tools, and dragged by the ears and tail.
It also showed the poor condition hundreds of Irish calves were left in after being exported across Romania and onwards to Israel.
The ISPCA said it "believes that the conditions that young Irish cattle are subjected to during export is damaging to the reputation of the Irish dairy industry, and the reputation of the country generally".
It added: "The best answer is to cease live export entirely, with full rearing and slaughter taking place in the island of Ireland. The UK has just, in May 2024, introduced a ban on live export of animals: Ireland should follow suit."
The charity said the "rapid and unsustainable expansion" of Ireland's dairy herd in recent years had contributed to an increase in male calves who are of no use to the industry.
It also outlined that 200,000 male calves are "expected to be of no use" to the industry this year.

"Records suggest that 2024 is set to be a record year for live exports from Ireland with the total number of cattle exported so far this year up 8% on the equivalent figure from last year."
The director of Ethical Farming Ireland has also called for action and said it was time the industry "took responsibility" for the well-being of calves rather than "offloading them at the earliest opportunity".
"These young vulnerable calves are subjected to rough treatment and abuse at marts and assembly centres, prolonged starvation, and horrendously long journeys in crowded trucks, just to end up in an inhumane veal farm," Caroline Rowley said.
She added: "Those that escape this misery can end up exported to third countries, where they endure long sea journeys to countries with appalling animal welfare standards, particularly at slaughter. This is the life of an Irish dairy bull."
Sinn Féin’s spokesperson on Agriculture and Rural Development Martin Kenny has called for "alternative solutions" for Irish farmers.
"Live cattle exports create competition in the market which helps deliver a better price for cattle.
"There is a particular difficulty with bull calves from the dairy sector and alternative solutions need to be found to get a decent return for farmers in this sector," he said.
