Composting Livestock Mortality and Butcher Waste

• Tuesday, September 17, 2024, 5:30 PM - 7:00 PM

Routine and emergency losses of poultry and livestock are significant environmental, biosecurity, and waste management concerns. In addition, disposal of offal and butcher waste is becoming increasingly difficult and expensive as renderers close. Mortality composting is cost effective, environmentally sound, compassionate, easy to do, and can be done at any time of the year. This presentation will cover what composting is, site preparation, and how to compost livestock on farms; including the regulations in New York State.

The program will be held from 5:30-7:00 pm on Tuesday, September 17, 2024. Our presenter, Jean Bonhotal, Waste Management Specialist and Director of the Cornell Waste Management Institute in Soil and Crop Sciences has spent over 25 years in education of composting food, manure, animal carcasses, along with compost quality and use. Host for our program is Bare Bones Butchering in Friendship, NY.

There is no fee, however pre-registration is requested. Event will be held rain or shine. For more details follow registration link: https://reg.cce.cornell.edu/Composting_Livestock_Waste_202
