The knackery is the additional activity of the part verminerie. The fast care of animals that have died in departments around the site (the Ariège, the Haute-Garonne, the Pyrénées-Atlantiques and the Hautes-Pyrénées) allows to prevent any potential risk for the environment (contagion of the water) and the human or animal health.

A team of two poeple take charge of the sorting out during the on-site arrival. These raw materials are crushed then stored. They are then spread on the numerous ponds of breeding of the site for the production of Michel’ bait. When the bait has reached their maturity, team of collectors clean them up and packages them in tubs with some sawdust. The bait is then stored in a cold room.
