The booklet provides very clear protocols to be followed by the farmer, the involved veterinary practitioner and the slaughter plant. The protocols specifically apply to healthy animals that had some form of accident on farm and follow European hygiene legislation. Some animals which otherwise would have had to be disposed of as fallen stock, may still provide some economic benefit when following this procedure.
The booklet is available on the FAWAC website or from the FAWAC Secretariat - email FAWAC@agriculture.gov.ie
