California AB411 allows composting of livestock carcasses from natural deaths or on-farm processing.

California AB411, known as the Caring About The Terrain, Livestock, and Ecosystems (C.A.T.T.L.E) Act, permits composting of livestock carcasses resulting from natural deaths or on-farm processing. This composting can occur if specific conditions are met, including adherence to best management practices for livestock composting. These practices must protect groundwater, public health, and the food supply, among other things. The composting must occur on an agricultural site owned or leased by the livestock owner, or in the county where the carcass was generated.
