Rochdale Fallen Stock Collection

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