Description

Livestock and pet carcass disposal vehicles

[0001] The present invention relates to a vehicle for disposing of livestock and companion animal carcasses, and more particularly, to an eco-friendly vehicle for disposing of carcasses that can solve problems such as air pollution, bacterial contamination, soil contamination, contact contamination, and air pollution exhaust gas emissions that may arise during the carcass disposal process.

[0002] In general, foot-and-mouth disease, avian influenza, and swine fever, which are designated as Class 1 statutory livestock infectious diseases in Korea, are highly contagious viral malignant infectious diseases that affect livestock such as cattle, pigs, sheep, goats, chickens, and ducks, as well as wild birds.

[0003] Because of the high infection rate of this epidemic, all livestock in the infected barns, as well as those within the risk radius of infection from the outbreak site, have been buried in the ground until now.

[0004] The burial process involves selecting a burial site (landfill), digging a hole, laying a waterproof film to prevent leachate leakage, and installing a septic tank with a leachate discharge pipe on one end. The culled animal carcasses are then placed in the pit, covered with soil, and compacted. Exhaust pipes are then installed throughout the pit to release gases and odors generated during the carcass' decomposition into the atmosphere. (See Figure 1 (a))

[0005] However, the waterproof film can easily be torn and holes formed by the weight of the livestock dropped or by severe shaking when it is pierced by the horns or hooves of infected livestock being dropped, or by the waterproof film touching rocks or underground obstacles at the bottom of the pit. This can lead to a high possibility of leakage of leachate generated as the carcass decomposes through these holes.

[0006] Furthermore, when burying infected livestock on slopes, the potential for serious damage from leachate and carcass loss cannot be ruled out, as the landfill is vulnerable to collapse due to the water pressure and soil pressure of rainwater seeping in during rainfall. Even when burying infected livestock on flat land, flooding from leachate caused by rainfall is a foreseeable possibility.

[0007] In addition, when burying livestock carcasses in the ground, the decomposition rate of the carcasses is often much slower than when left above ground due to lack of air circulation. If decomposition proceeds slowly, not only will foul odors and gases continue to be generated until decomposition is complete, polluting the surrounding environment, but there is also the problem that it takes a long time for environmental pollutants caused by the decomposition and decay of the carcasses to leak into the soil or disappear naturally, allowing the soil to completely recover.

[0008] To solve these problems, ultra-high temperature microbial treatment methods and high temperature sterilization treatment methods were developed. (See Figure 1 (b) and (c))

[0009] However, conventional carcass disposal devices and methods require personnel to personally dispose of the animal carcasses. This process can lead to air pollution, bacterial contamination, soil contamination, contact contamination, and air pollutant emissions. Furthermore, there is the risk of mental illness in workers involved in the carcass disposal process.

[0010] Therefore, there is a need for a technology that can solve the problems of the above-mentioned conventional technology.
