***In one of the pastures on the west side of the facility there were at least two baby goat carcasses in varying states of decomposition, along with some fetal membrane material, that were found near a drainage tunnel opening. It was unclear whether these were stillborn babies born in situ and abandoned there, or whether they were placed there by an employee checking the pasture. Decomposing carcasses, especially near a drainage ditch, can contaminate the soil and plants in the pasture and cause a risk of disease to the other animals grazing there. The dead tissues can also attract vermin and pests, which bring another risk of disease to those animals. Correct by ensuring that proper provisions are made for the removal and disposal of all waste materials, including dead animals, and that these provisions comply with applicable regulations relating to pollution control and the protection of the environment.
