If you’re a farmer in Wallasey 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 both legal compliance and the health of your livestock. Martlands Wallasey Fallen Stock Collectors are here to help you manage this essential task efficiently and responsibly.
Why Choose Martlands for Fallen Stock Collection in Wallasey?
Martlands are registered as Wallasey Fallen Stock Collectors with the National Fallen Stock Company. This registration ensures that we adhere to all regulatory requirements and provide a reliable service for farmers in Prenton and Wallasey. By choosing Martlands, you can be confident that your fallen stock will be handled professionally and in accordance with UK law.
Legal Responsibilities for Farmers
Farmers in Wallasey are legally responsible for the disposal of their own fallen stock. Since 2003, on-farm burial has been banned to protect public health and the environment. According to EU Control Regulations Article 21, fallen stock must be collected, identified, and transported without ‘undue delay’. Failure to comply with these regulations can result in significant penalties.
Compliance Made Easy
Using experts like Martlands ensures that you comply with all your responsibilities under UK law. Our team is well-versed in the regulations surrounding fallen stock collection and disposal, making it easier for you to focus on other aspects of your farming operations.
Comprehensive Fallen Stock Services
Martlands offers a comprehensive range of services tailored to meet the needs of farmers in Wallasey and Prenton. Our services include:
DEFRA-Approved Sampling Centre
Martlands 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 testing is crucial for monitoring diseases such as BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy) and ensuring the safety of your livestock.
Prompt Collection Service
We understand that timely collection is essential when dealing with fallen stock. That’s why we guarantee collection within 24 hours of notification. This prompt service helps prevent any potential health risks associated with delayed removal.
Professional Handling and Disposal
Once collected, the brain stem is removed from the animal, and samples are sent from Wallasey to the VLA (Veterinary Laboratories Agency) in Newcastle for testing. All carcasses are then disposed of through rendering and incineration processes, ensuring complete compliance with environmental regulations.
The Importance of Using Approved Services
Using an approved service like Martlands offers several benefits:
- Health Protection: Proper disposal prevents the spread of diseases among livestock.
- Environmental Safety: Rendering and incineration reduce environmental impact compared to illegal burial.
