Legal Responsibilities for Farmers in Rossett
Farmers in Rossett are responsible by law for the disposal of their own fallen stock. On-farm burial is banned in Rossett and has been that way since 2003 – this is to protect health. In fact, the EU Control Regulations state in Article 21 that Rossett fallen stock must be collected, identified and transported without ‘undue delay’.
Why On-Farm Burial is Banned
The ban on on-farm burial was introduced to protect both human and animal health. Decomposing carcasses can contaminate soil and water sources, posing significant health risks. The regulations ensure that all fallen stock is disposed of safely and sustainably.
The Role of Martlands in Fallen Stock Collection
The Rossett livestock industry can be very confident in its ability to dispose of waste safely by using experts like Martlands for its fallen stock management. This ensures compliance with all responsibilities under UK law.
DEFRA-Approved Service
Martlands Fallen Stock Collection Rossett is a DEFRA-approved licensed sampling centre. We can undertake TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies) brain stem testing of adult cattle (over 48 months old). This ensures that any potential diseases are identified promptly and managed effectively.
Quick Response Time
We understand the urgency involved when dealing with fallen stock. That’s why we aim to collect the animal from Rossett within 24 hours of notification. This quick response time helps prevent any potential health hazards from escalating.
The Process – From Collection to Disposal
When you notify us about fallen stock, we take immediate action to ensure safe disposal.
Brain Stem Testing
For adult cattle over 48 months old, we perform brain stem testing for TSEs. The brain stem is removed, and samples are taken and sent from Rossett to the VLA (Veterinary Laboratories Agency) in Newcastle for analysis.
Safe Disposal Methods
All carcasses collected from Rossett are disposed of by rendering and incineration. These methods ensure that no harmful pathogens remain active, thereby protecting both human and animal populations.
