Following a meeting between the Department and the Animal Collectors Association earlier this week, there has been a restoration of the fallen animal collection service.

The Department is confident that the supports contained in the new Fallen Animal Scheme will support the sustainability and viability of the knackery industry and ensure a continued fallen animal collection service to the farming community.
