Current through Register Vol. 51, page 67, December 16, 2024
Section 12:68:09:04 - Removal of diseased carcasses

Licenses do not allow the removal, transportation, or rendering of a carcass of an animal which died from anthrax or rabies. If circumstances do not allow the disposal of a carcass of an animal which died from rabies or is suspected to have died from rabies, the carcass may be transported by a licensed rendering truck directly to a licensed rendering plant for special handling under the direct supervision of a veterinarian.

If the board determines that the removal, transportation, or rendering of a carcass of an animal or fowl which died or was killed because of a specified disease will endanger the health of the domestic animals of the state, the board shall notify all licensed rendering plants. After notification, no rendering plant may remove, transport, or render the carcass of an animal or fowl which died from the disease or was killed because it was infected with or exposed to the disease.
