Description

Animal Carcass Processing Equipment

The present invention relates to an animal carcass processing apparatus. More specifically, in order to prevent the spread of legal epidemics of livestock such as foot-and-mouth disease, bird flu, and don cholera, the carcasses that have been infected and suspiciously killed at once have been treated in a short time without spreading the carcasses. It relates to an animal carcass processing apparatus for processing to be processed to be used as biomass or fat energy and protein feed.

The lack of measures to prevent the spread of statutory epidemics of livestock such as foot-and-mouth disease, bird flu, and don cholera have become a global problem in large-scale commercialized livestock industry.

Once a cattle is positive for statutory communicable disease, it is key to prevent the spread of communicable disease by blocking the area from outside and promptly killing all livestock within a certain range for the livestock of the disease. Therefore, the most easy way to handle large quantities of livestock in a short time is the investment method, and most of our country is under the government-led investment.

Although a large amount of livestock is buried under certain regulations, aftercare is a big problem. In 2010-2011, 9,534 thousand birds were buried with high-pathogenic avian influenza (AI) in Korea due to foot-and-mouth disease in 2008, and 4,632 sites (current as of Feb. 2011) were buried. There are more than 413 locations, and there are more than 5,000 investment sites.

There is a limit to natural cleansing capacity by investment, and no one can be sure whether it will be 10 years, 20 or 50 years.

Although burial lands scattered throughout the country are managed by the government until they are completely cleaned up, it is difficult to secure burial lands in the future, and there is a possibility of contamination of groundwater and water sources by leachate, contamination of odor, and transmission of diseases even after burial.

In addition to the methods of investing the waste livestock, various methods such as incineration, composting, rendering, lactic fermentation, alkali hydrolysis, thermochemical liquefaction, and microbial use have been proposed. It is not practical because it does not serve the purpose of preventing the spread.

Another method is the treatment using high temperature microorganisms, but it is impossible to move because it requires high cost in the facilities of the facility and installation of the treatment facility in a fixed place. Therefore, in order to treat infectious disease lung livestock, there is no useful value in order to prevent infectious disease because lung livestock must be transported to a treatment facility.

As such, there are no suitable facilities for treating infectious disease lung livestock, but despite the many side effects, the situation is inevitable.

Accordingly, there is a need for a facility that can quickly remove all livestock raised in a livestock farm, such as an infected animal that is at risk of spreading an infectious disease, or is being raised in a nearby livestock farm.
