Elton Fallen Stock Collection
Farmers in Elton are responsible in law for disposal of their own fallen stock. On-farm burial is banned in Elton and has been since back in 2003 – this is to protect people’s and animals’ health. Indeed, the EU Control Regulations say that Elton fallen stock has to be collected, identified and transported without an ‘undue delay’. This means Elton farm stock collection must be dealt with as quickly as possibly and our Elton Fallen Stock Collection service does just that. We will safely and efficiently collect the carcass from its location in Elton and deal with it. Where Elton cattle are aged over 48 months, they must be collected from Elton and samples must be taken by a Elton TSE sampling site within 1 day of the animal’s death.
