The California Department of Food and Agriculture, on Friday, September 2nd, authorized an emergency livestock mortality management quarantine to run from September 2nd through September 30th due to a heat emergency. Detailed information on disposing of or composting carcasses in the event rendering is not available is included in a guidance document linked below. WUD encourages dairy producers to review the attachments listed in this article, which include emergency preparedness information, the quarantine order, and disposal guidance. Should dairy producers experience unreliable hauling conditions that warrant emergency intervention on your dairy, or if you are notified of disruptions at the rendering level due to the extreme heat, please do not hesitate to call or email the WUD office at (209)527-6453 or [email protected] for guidance.
*Note: Help will also be available on the weekends by contacting WUD CEO, Anja Raudabaugh: [email protected] or (916)532-9974
