The Challenge

The real cost of hauling dead stock

Every dairy loses animals. How you handle mortality determines your disease risk, your compliance exposure, and your rendering bill.

Rendering Truck Biosecurity

Every truck that visits multiple farms is a disease vector. One visit during an outbreak can put your entire herd at risk.

Groundwater & Burial Rules

Burial is restricted or banned in many counties, and improperly buried carcasses threaten wells and waterways your operation depends on.

Carcass Storage Windows

A downed cow in summer becomes a compliance and odor problem in hours, not days. Waiting on pickup schedules isn't a plan.

Rising Disposal Costs

Rendering fees keep climbing while service areas shrink — many dairies now pay premium rates for unreliable pickup.

The Solution

Close the loop on your own slab

  1. Same-day disposal

    A mortality event is handled the same day it happens — no storage, no smell, no scheduling.

  2. Complete biosecurity

    Nothing enters and nothing leaves. On-site incineration removes the single biggest outside-vehicle disease vector from your farm.

  3. 99% waste reduction

    A full-grown cow reduces to a small amount of sterile ash, easily managed on-farm.

  4. Predictable operating cost

    After the unit pays for itself against rendering fees, your only recurring cost is fuel.

Common Questions

Dairy Farms FAQ

What size incinerator does a dairy need?
It depends on herd size and cull rates. Operations under a few hundred head typically run an ECO-750 or ECO-1000; larger dairies step up to the 1500–3000 range for full-grown cow capacity per load.
Can it handle a full-grown Holstein?
Yes — the ECO-1000 and up are sized for large-animal mortality, and the recirculating burn design handles large carcasses without mid-cycle stirring.
What about environmental rules?
Incineration to sterile ash is among the cleanest compliant disposal methods. We recommend confirming local requirements with your state environmental agency — we're glad to share what similar dairies have done.
