S.D. Admin. R. 12:68:09:15
Owners or operators of pet food processing plants who transport the carcasses of domestic animals that have died or have been killed, otherwise than by being slaughtered for human consumption, over the public highways to their plants for processing into pet food must apply for a license on a form furnished by the board.
The facilities and vehicles must be inspected by an agent of the board prior to licensure. Sanitation standards and procedures for hauling and processing carcasses into inedible meat must comply with the requirements in §§ 12:68:09:07 and 12:68:09:10 before a license is issued.
Licenses do not allow pet food processing plants to knowingly remove, transport, or process the carcass of an animal which has died from anthrax, rabies, or toxic materials or which is decomposed.
Licenses are valid for one year from date of issue unless revoked.
