Congratulations, in advance.

Incinerators for fallen stock are subject to up to four SVS inspections a
year!

Not so good for biosecurity, but good for the SVS collective ego, and job
creation for bent vets.

The NPA has been complaining to Defra - check their site.

Incinerator Checks

An unreasonable bureaucratic burden is being imposed by the State Veterinary
Service on incinerator users in some areas, including Lincolnshire and
Bedfordshire.

Some users of Defra type-approved low-capacity incinerators have been told
by their local State Veterinary Service office they will be inspected every
three months.

etc. etc.



I suppose you could invite a few SVS to the wedding and hope for
preferential treatment.
