The Fallen Animal TSE Subsidy Scheme ensures that fallen bovines aged over 48 months, which must be BSE tested in accordance with EU legislation, are disposed of in compliance with animal and public health and environmental regulations.
\nThe scheme provides for the subsidised collection and destruction of bovines over 48 months. Category 2 Intermediate plants (knackeries) o\ufb00ering this service to farmers must be app<\/p>\n
roved in accordance with the European Communities (Animal By-Products) Regulations, 2014 (S.I. No. 187\/2014).
\nCategory 1 rendering plants are used for the rendering and disposal costs of over 48 month fallen cattle. Costs are fully covered by the Scheme and the collection charge to the farmer is capped at \u20ac54.03 including VAT.
\nIt is an o\ufb00ence to bury dead animals on farm, except in accordance with a licence issued by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine.<\/p>\n
The BSE testing of fallen animals over 48 months of age is a critical action, and farmers are obliged to contact a knackery within 24 hours of the animal\u2019s death to ensure that the carcase does not deteriorate to an extent that the BSE sample cannot easily be taken. A record should be kept of the time and date of noti\ufb01cation of the death to the knackery. Carcases awaiting collection must be held in such a way that domestic animals, including farmed livestock and wild animals, cannot gain access to them. Failure to comply with these conditions may lead to prosecution under S.I. No. 187 of 2014.<\/p>\n
The animal passport and a completed and signed form NBAS 31D must be available and given to the animal collector when the carcase is picked up from the farm. If the passport for the dead animal is not available, then a FAL 1 permit must be requested from the local Regional Veterinary O\ufb03ce before the carcase is collected. This permit will be faxed directly to the knackery.<\/p>\n\n
