The Diseases of Animals (Waste Foods) Order 1957
On 1st June 1957 Diseases of Animals Authorities became responsible
for issuing licences in respect of waste food boiling plants and the inspection
of such plants. The aim of the Order is to reduce the risk of spread of
foot and mouth disease and other diseases. Local authorities do not need
to have licences for boiling plants nor do persons having not more than 4
weaned pigs and 50 head of poultry who boil waste food for feeding on
their premises to their own stock.
The effect of the Order is to prohibit the use of the specified waste foods
for feeding to animals or poultry unless the foods have been boiled for at
least an hour. Also persons collecting or receiving waste foods from the
premises of other persons shall not feed the food to animals or move it
from their premises until it has been boiled in a licensed plant.
Except that in cases where no animals or poultry are kept on the
collector's premises the unboiled waste may be removed by any licensed
holder or any person who operates a plant that does not need to be
licensed. Unboiled waste foods must not be allowed to come into contact
with boiled waste food.
