Llay Fallen Stock Collection

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

Martlands fallen stock collection Llay 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 Llay within 24 hours of you notifying us. The brain stem is removed, and samples are taken and sent from Llay to the Veterinaries Laboratories Agency (VLA) in Newcastle. All Llay carcasses are disposed of by rendering and incineration.
