Farmers in West Midlands are responsible in law for the disposal of their fallen stock. On-farm burial is banned in West Midlands and has been since 2003 – this is to protect health. Indeed, the EU Control Regulations says in Article 21 that West Midlands fallen stock must be collected, identified and transported without ‘undue delay’. This means West Midlands farm stock collection must be dealt with quickly and our West Midlands Farm Stock Collection service does just that. We safely and efficiently collect the carcass from its location in West Midlands and deal with it. Where West Midlands cattle over 48 months are concerned, they must be collected from West Midlands and samples must be taken by a West Midlands TSE sampling site within a day of the animal’s death.

Fallen Stock Service West Midlands

Martland’s fallen stock collection West Midlands is a DEFRA-approved Licensed Sampling Centre. We undertake TSE (Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies) brain stem testing of adult cattle (over 48 months old). We can collect the animal from West Midlands within 24 hours of you notifying us. The brain stem is removed, and samples are taken and sent from West Midlands to the VLA (Veterinaries Laboratories Agency) in Newcastle. All West Midlands carcasses are disposed of by rendering and incineration.
