Nantwich Fallen Stock Collection

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