[Disposal of carcasses and rendering in the waste management program 1975 of the Federal Republic of Germany and hints for the practice of supervision by state veterinarians and operational self-control in rendering plants (author's transl)].

In the Waste Management Program 1975 of the German Federal Government the problems of disposal of animal carcasses and rendering were specially emphasized in the working group "Animal Residues". Besides a description of the entire situation, the reasons and the problems, measures for solving the problems are concurrently listed. For the practical supervision of rendering plants by the state veterinary officer and the operational self-control in such plants a questionnaire was prepared on the basis of the law in force, which can be used as a checklist.
