Councils must regulate and monitor animal by-products to ensure they are handled, transported, and disposed of safely, preventing risks to public health and the environment. This includes inspecting facilities, checking compliance with hygiene standards, and taking enforcement action where necessary. By managing these processes effectively, councils help reduce the spread of disease, protect food safety, and maintain environmental standards.
