On the subject of fallen stock management, the debate between incineration and composting often sparks intense discussion.
Both methods have their merits, but when weighing up the advantages, incineration emerges as a more viable solution for several reasons. Incineration offers a definitive solution to animal waste disposal, unlike composting, which requires meticulous management to ensure proper decomposition, Incineration swiftly reduces waste to ashes through high-temperature combustion. This process not only eliminates the need for vast compost sites but also minimizes the risk of environmental contamination and disease-spread associated with decomposing organic matter.
Moreover, the efficiency of incineration in reducing waste volume cannot be understated. Composting, although effective in breaking down organic materials, often struggles with bulky or non-biodegradable items (bones and such). On the contrary, incineration can handle a wide range of animal waste material, with minimal residue left behind. Additionally, concerns about disease transmission and pest infestation, as highlighted in recent videos we have shared on socials depicting the hazards of composting sheds, underscore the inherent risks associated with this method.
Rodents and wild animals are attracted to decomposing organic matter, creating a breeding ground for pathogens and facilitating the spread of diseases. Incineration mitigates these risks by swiftly neutralizing organic waste, leaving no opportunity for pests to proliferate or diseases to spread.
