Grave disposal for hog carcasses urged by USDA
The United States Department of Agriculture advises farmers to cremate or bury deep in quicklime the remains of livestock that die from unknown causes to prevent disease. Hog carcasses should be burned or buried deeply, with an old metal wheel as a funeral pyre base, and carcasses slit to burn thoroughly. For cattle and horses, dig deep small graves and dismember to fit, aiming for at least five feet depth.
