TUCKER, Ga. — The U.S. Poultry & Egg Association Board Research Initiative is requesting pre-proposals on the rapid disposal of poultry carcasses following depopulation.
Mass depopulation and disposal of large caged layer facilities present daunting challenges for both euthanasia and disposal. The recent avian influenza outbreak has shown that current disposal methods may be inadequate for rapid depopulation and disposal on large farms. Innovative methods are needed for rapid, safe disposal of the carcasses and manure. Opportunities may exist to improve currently used disposal methods.
The area of focus for the research will include the development of alternative methods. . .
