Animal mortality material can be difficult to manage because it is high in moisture, biologically unstable and sensitive to odor, hygiene and regulatory requirements. Sunrise recommends suitable equipment according to animal type, carcass size, daily mortality volume, disease-control requirements and final treatment target.
Common animal mortality streams include:
- Dead livestock from farms and breeding operations
- Poultry mortality from poultry farms and processing sites
- Carcass material from cattle, pigs, sheep and goats
- Farm animal by-products not suitable for food use
- Condemned animal material requiring controlled treatment
- Mixed mortality waste from collection and transfer sites
- Bones, offal and tissue from mortality handling operations
