Collection and movement
Every movement of fresh mortality between poultry houses, storage areas and vehicles creates another handling point to manage.
Biosecurity
Keep poultry mortality—and the risks around it—under control on the farm.
Daily mortality is unavoidable. Unnecessary movement, storage and collection traffic are not. MAOF gives poultry operations a practical way to process mortality close to where it occurs.
Break the movement chain
Biosecurity is shaped by everyday handling decisions.
Managing mortality is not only about the final disposal method. It is also about where fresh material travels, how long it waits, who enters the site and how often containers or vehicles cross controlled areas. On-site processing can remove several of those avoidable contact points.
Common exposure points
Fewer steps can mean fewer opportunities for cross-contact.
Temporary storage
Material waiting for treatment can attract insects, rodents, wild birds and scavengers if storage is delayed or poorly controlled.
Outside traffic
Off-site disposal can introduce collection vehicles, equipment and third-party personnel into the farm’s controlled environment.
Time before treatment
A reliable daily routine limits how long fresh mortality remains untreated and helps staff avoid growing stockpiles.
Pathogen inactivation
90–95°CMAOF’s sustained operating range is above published heat-inactivation benchmarks for major poultry pathogens.
The temperature is maintained while continuous mixing moves the material through the heated chamber. This combination of temperature, exposure time and movement is central to the substantial reduction of pathogen load.
WOAH lists this core temperature and time for a 7-log reduction of high-pathogenicity avian influenza virus in poultry meat products.
USDA identifies 74°C (165°F) as the safe minimum internal temperature for poultry—a recognized control point for Salmonella and other foodborne pathogens.
USDA APHIS identifies this heat exposure as effective for inactivating Newcastle disease virus.
Why the full process matters
Published benchmarks apply to defined materials and conditions. MAOF combines a higher sustained operating range with continuous mixing and a long dehydration cycle. Site procedures, process records and any required local validation still apply.
Part of the farm plan
A strong process within a wider biosecurity programme.
MAOF combines sustained heat, continuous mixing, exposure time and moisture removal to substantially reduce pathogen load and produce dry, stabilized material.
It supports—but does not replace—the farm’s cleaning, staff training, pest control, controlled traffic and outbreak procedures. The output should not be described as sterile and must follow approved local handling requirements.

Location, collection route and daily volume all matter.
The right installation should reduce unnecessary movement while remaining practical for staff, loading equipment, electrical service and output handling.
