The Rosselkhoznadzor Office reminds you of the rules for handling livestock waste and biological waste

Currently, in the Primorsky Territory, a situation has arisen where agricultural enterprises actually cannot cope with the huge amount of animal waste products generated, and citizens with private farms ignore veterinary and sanitary rules, especially regarding the storage and disinfection of manure and wastewater.

it should be noted that there is a small number of specialized slaughter sites, where, in accordance with the requirements of the Customs Union and the technical regulations of the Customs Union “On the safety of food products” (TR CU 021/2011), the slaughter of productive animals must be carried out in specially equipped and registered enterprises, meeting all technical and sanitary standards, where the main criterion is maximum safety of MEAT products.
