Process of Collecting Animal By-Products / Carcasses

Important Information for Livestock Keepers Regarding Transport:

  • Site Requirements & Access

    • The area must be easily accessible by truck, allowing direct parking next to the carcasses/by-products to be collected.

    • The area must be free of buildings, power lines, and trees that could obstruct crane operation, as these pose a safety hazard.

  • Preparation of Material

    • By-products must be handed over to our staff without packaging.

    • Prior to transport, please remove collars, harnesses, horseshoes, cattle ropes, and all foreign or contaminating materials from the animals.

  • Storage & Handling Equipment

    • Containers and bins must be stored exclusively on solid (concrete) surfaces, as movement is only possible under these conditions.

    • In the case of covered storage areas—where loading is not performed using wheelie bins—crane access must be ensured.

    • Please avoid overloading bins. (Note: If items are placed next to the bin, stray animals may drag the carcasses away.)

  • Facilities & Protocol

    • Provision of washing and disinfection facilities.

    • Provision of a "mailbox" for documents if no contact person is present at the loading location.

    • Establishment of a refrigerated storage unit.

    • Availability of a contact person’s phone number for drivers.

Safe and Compliant Disposal to Prevent Epidemics

Preserving the country's favorable animal health status and restoring disease-free status as quickly as possible following an outbreak is a shared interest and responsibility for all of us. ATEV Zrt. is committed to the safe and efficient disposal of fallen animals, contributing to disease prevention and environmental protection. However, this remains a collective responsibility across the entire livestock farming and processing chain.

ATEV Zrt. aims to ensure the seamless collection of fallen animals and by-products. To achieve this, it is essential that livestock keepers comply with all relevant rules and regulations. To prevent epidemics, authorities strictly monitor ATEV Zrt.’s operations and expect us to act with the utmost care.

Why is Compliance Important?

  • Prevention: The primary objective is epidemic prevention.

  • Public & Animal Health Responsibility: Professional disposal of fallen animals and by-products is essential to prevent the spread of infections.

  • Environmental Protection: Improper disposal can cause severe environmental damage.

  • Effective Cooperation: Compliance by livestock keepers ensures that ATEV Zrt. can carry out collections smoothly.

In daily operations, ATEV Zrt. takes every measure to ensure our vehicles do not become potential vectors for virus transmission. Our drivers receive regular training, are familiar with relevant epidemic prevention regulations as well as technical requirements, and perform their duties accordingly.
