Farm Farmers responsible for disposal
Mandy Farrell, RR 2, Ripley, shows her Grand Champion
marketanimalatthe4H show and sale at Brussels Livestock on
Monday. The animal was later purchased for $1.71 a pound by
the judge of the event, Bill Scott.
Farmers should be aware of their
responsibilities when it comes to
disposal of dead animals, said Dr.
John Henry, director of the Mini
stry of Agriculture and Food’s
livestock inspection branch.
“Under the Dead Animals Dis
posal Act, farmers have two op
tions. They are obliged to bury a
dead animal under at least two feet
of earth, within 48 hours of its
death, or they can havejt removed
by a licensed collector,” Henry
explained.
Under the act, “dead animal”
means the carcass, or any part, of a
horse, goat, sheep, swine or head
of cattle.
Henry stressed that licensed
collectors are not required to pick
up dead animals under the act. The
responsibility for disposing of the
carcass of a dead animals falls
soley to the farmer.
“Collectors try to give a com
plete service when it comes to
salvageable carcasses. They rely on
the income from the salvaged
product to make a living,” Henry
explained, “but smaller dead ani
mals such as pigs and sheep have
little salvage value.”
Collectors sell dead stock to a
rendering or receiving plant. It is
processed for hides, meat for pet
food, or rendering material. The
finished rendered products --
tallow, grease, protein supple
ments, meat meal and bone meal --
are sold on the commodity market,
where they must compete with
comparable alternate products.
