No matter if you need our Delamere Fallen Stock Collection service occasionally in Delamere or want a longer-term contractual arrangement, Martlands can help you.

Delamere Fallen Stock Collection

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

Fallen Stock Service Delamere

Martlands fallen stock collection Delamere is a DEFRA-approved Licensed Sampling Centre. We undertake Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies (TSE) brain stem testing of adult cattle (over 48 months of age). We can collect the animal from Delamere within 24 hours of you notifying us. The brain stem is removed, and samples are taken and sent from Delamere to the Veterinaries Laboratories Agency (VLA) in Newcastle. All Delamere carcasses are disposed of by rendering and incineration.
