The transportation of animal by-products (ABP) including poultry litter is governed by the EU Animal By-Product Regulation (EC) No. 1069 of 2009 and Regulation (EU) No. 142 of 2011 which are given legal effect by The European Communities (Animal By-Product) Regulations 2014 (SI No. 187/2014). The list of hauliers registered in accordance with these regulations can be found on my Department's website at the link below:
