Responsibilities of Fallen Stock Collectors

If you are a farmer in Leasowe or the surrounding areas, dealing with fallen stock is an inevitable part of your responsibilities. Ensuring that you have access to an approved service for fallen stock collection is crucial for maintaining both legal compliance and the health of your livestock. Martlands Leasowe Fallen Stock Collectors offer a comprehensive solution for all your fallen stock needs. Registered with the National Fallen Stock Company, Martlands provides a reliable and efficient service that ensures you meet all regulatory requirements.

Why Choose Martlands for Fallen Stock Collection in Leasowe?

Legal Compliance

Farmers in Leasowe are legally responsible for the disposal of their own fallen stock. On-farm burial has been banned since 2003 to protect public health and prevent disease outbreaks. According to EU Control Regulations Article 21, fallen stock must be collected, identified, and transported without undue delay. Failure to comply can result in severe penalties.

Expertise and Reliability

Martlands is not just another fallen stock collection service; we are experts in the field. Our team is well-versed in all aspects of fallen stock management, ensuring that you comply with UK laws while disposing of your livestock waste safely and sustainably.

DEFRA-Approved Service

Martlands is a DEFRA-approved licensed sampling centre capable of undertaking TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies) brain stem testing of adult cattle over 48 months old. This means we can handle even the most complex aspects of fallen stock disposal, providing you with peace of mind.

The Importance of Using an Approved Service

Health Protection

Improper disposal methods can pose significant health risks. Diseases can spread rapidly if carcasses are not handled correctly. By using an approved service like Martlands, you ensure that all health protocols are strictly followed.

Environmental Responsibility

On-farm burial not only poses health risks but also environmental ones. Contaminants from decomposing carcasses can seep into groundwater, causing long-term damage to the ecosystem. Proper disposal methods such as rendering and incineration mitigate these risks effectively.

Quick Response Time

Time is often a critical factor when dealing with fallen stock. Delays can exacerbate health risks and complicate compliance issues. Martlands guarantees collection within 24 hours of notification, ensuring that your farm remains safe and compliant.
