Scientific Opinion on Isolation in proofed pit on‐farm of dead poultry

Abstract EFSA's Scientific Panel on Biological Hazards (BIOHAZ) was asked for a scientific opinion on an alternative method for processing Category (Cat) 2 Animal By‐Products (ABP) as defined in Reg. (EC) 1069/2009. The material to be treated consists of dead‐on‐farm poultry; this implies that...

(EC) 1069/2009. The material to be treated consists of dead‐on‐farm poultry; this implies that the animals died due to a disease, which in most cases was not properly diagnosed.
