Legal Responsibilities for Farmers in Connahs Quay
Farmers in Connahs Quay are legally responsible for the disposal of their fallen stock. On-farm burial is banned in Connahs Quay and has been that way since 2003 – this is to protect health. In fact, the EU Control Regulations state in Article 21 that Connahs Quay fallen stock must be collected, identified, and transported without ‘undue delay’.
Why On-Farm Burial is Banned
The ban on on-farm burial was implemented to prevent the spread of diseases and protect public health. Improper disposal of animal carcasses can lead to contamination of soil and water sources, posing serious risks to both human and animal health.
The Role of Martlands in Fallen Stock Management
The Connahs Quay livestock industry can be very confident in its ability to dispose of waste safely and sustainably by using experts like Martlands for its fallen stock management. This ensures compliance with all responsibilities under UK law.
DEFRA-Approved Services
Martlands Fallen Stock Collection Connahs Quay is a DEFRA-approved licensed sampling centre. We can undertake TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies) brain stem testing of adult cattle (over 48 months old) and collect the animal from Connahs Quay within 24 hours of you notifying us.
Efficient Testing Process
Once collected, the brain stem is removed, and samples are taken and sent from Connahs Quay to the VLA (Veterinary Laboratories Agency) in Newcastle. This ensures that any potential diseases are identified quickly, allowing for appropriate measures to be taken.
Sustainable Disposal Methods
All Connahs Quay carcasses are disposed of by rendering and incineration. These methods ensure that no harmful pathogens are released into the environment, making it a safe option for both farmers and the community.
Rendering Process
Rendering converts animal tissues into stable, value-added materials such as fats and proteins. This process not only helps in managing waste but also contributes to sustainability by recycling animal by-products.
Incineration Process
Incineration involves burning organic material at high temperatures until it turns into ash. This method effectively destroys all pathogens present in the carcass, ensuring complete safety.
