Russian farmers have a week left to recognize manure as a by-product of animal husbandry

You can inform ROSSELKHOZNADZOR in several ways, for example, send a notification by mail or submit documents in person. From March 1 next year, an electronic form for submitting notifications will work.

Since this is a transitional year, notification must be sent by May 1st. Further, it will be necessary to notify the Rosselkhoznadzor before January 1 of the coming year. That is, you can send a notification for 2024 until December 31, 2023 inclusive.

Farmers and agricultural producers can now learn more about the rules for handling livestock by-products from the memo of the Ministry of Agriculture, which was published on its website by the Association of Peasant (Farm) Enterprises and Agricultural Cooperatives of RUSSIA (AKKOR).

What will happen if you do not notify about the by-products of animal husbandry, and whether there will be fines for violations of the rules for handling them, Maxim Sinelnikov, deputy HEAD of the National MEAT Association, member of the Public Council under Rosselkhoznadzor, told Veterinaria and Life.
