Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is carcass storage mandatory in pig farming?

Yes, companies are legally required to store dead animals hygienically in a closed, leak-proof and covered facility until collection.

How big should a carcass cooler be?

This depends on the number of animals and the collection frequency. Ensure sufficient capacity is available to temporarily store multiple carcasses without overloading.

What is the difference between a carcass box and a carcass cooler?

A cadaver box is a simple, often plastic container with a lid. A cadaver cooler actively cools carcasses to slow decomposition and odor formation.

How do I prevent pests in carcass storage?

Use closed storage, install traps or deterrent systems, and clean the area regularly. Pest control around storage areas is strongly recommended.

Can I transport carcasses myself within my company?

Yes, internal transport to storage or collection points is permitted provided this is done hygienically and safely, preferably with a specially designed carcass cart.
