Abstract

This Order implements Council Directive 90/667/EEC laying down the veterinary rules for the disposal and processing of animal waste, for its placing on the market and for the prevention of pathogens in feedstuffs of animal or fish origin and various other legislative texts of the Community. Animal by-products Animal by-products are defined in Part I of the Order as carcases or parts of carcases, or products of animal origin, which are not intended for human consumption, but the definition excludes catering waste and excreta. Animal by-products are divided into two categories: high risk (e.g. fallen stock) and low risk (e.g. slaughterhouse waste which is fit for human consumption). Part II of the Order requires that animal by-products be disposed of, without undue delay, by various specified means. The Order requires specified premises to be registered and to have suitable facilities for the disposal of unused or waste material. It sets construction and operational standards for approved knackers' yards and the standards to which knackers must treat by-products for use as feedingstuffs for animals whose flesh is not intended for human consumption. It also requires hunt kennels and similar premises to be registered. Part II also controls the approval of laboratories, the transport of animal by-products and the records which must be kept (arts. 16 to 18). Part IV of the Order regulates the feeding of swill (defined as processed catering waste and rendered non-mammalian animal by-products) to pigs and poultry and requires the approval of premises from which swill is consigned or on which it is fed to pigs or poultry.
