Where to place the carcass container on the farm?

The appropriate spot for placing the carcass container shall fulfil the following requirements:

It must be placed outside the farm and as far away from it as possible, because due to biosecurity reasons it is crucial that the carcass gathering lorry has no contact with the farm at all.

It must be installed in a place and in such a way that allows an easy filling of the container with the carcasses generated on the farm. It is recommendable to place it in a ditch, so the container is positioned quite low and it is easy to introduce the carcasses in it.

It must be placed in a spot with an easy access for the carcass collection lorry and that allows to carry out the container unloading operations easily.

It must be placed in a spot that is easy to access that allows a good maintenance of the container.

It must be placed in a spot that avoids an unwanted access by animals or people.

It must be placed in a spot that avoids high temperatures. For small species such as fowl and rabbits, it is recommendable to use freezers to store the carcasses until moving them to the container a little before the lorry collects them.
