Guidance on the Fallen Cattle Surveillance Scheme
From 12 January 2009 the free collection and disposal service for adult cattle aged over 48 months, that have died or been killed on farms in England, Scotland and Wales will end, and responsibility for arranging and paying for the collection and disposal of these animals will pass back to farmers. As these cattle still require BSE testing, they must be disposed of via an animal by-product plant approved to take brainstem samples.
To ease the transition to industry resuming responsibility for these costs, Defra will made £2m available to the National Fallen Stock CIC (NFSCo) for one year to assist with the cost of collection and disposal.
