§ 1.203. Establishments not having tanking facilities.

 (a)  Carcasses, parts of carcasses, and other products condemned at an official establishment which has no facilities for tanking shall, except as provided in subsection (b) or elsewhere in this subchapter, be destroyed in the presence of an inspector by incineration, or denatured with crude carbolic acid, or cresylic disinfectant, or a formula consisting of one part FD&C No. 3 green coloring, 40 parts water, 40 parts liquid detergent, and 40 parts oil of citronella or any other proprietary material approved by the Department in specific cases. When such product is to be denatured, it shall be freely slashed before the denaturing agent is applied, except that in the case of dead animals that have not been dressed the denaturant may be applied by injection. The denaturant shall be deposited in all portions of the carcass or product to the extent necessary to preclude its use for food purposes.

 (b)  All carcasses and parts condemned on account of anthrax at official establishments which are not equipped with tanking facilities shall be disposed of by complete incineration or by thorough denaturing with crude carbolic acid or cresylic disinfectant, and then disposed of in accordance with the requirements of the particular Commonwealth or municipal authorities, who shall be notified immediately by the veterinary supervisor.
