Waste destruction
Waste of food transported or consumed in air, sea, river, or land travel into Santa Catarina is
destroyed under MAPA’s official supervision, by incineration at ports and airports (Normative
Instruction SDA 05/17/2003) [4].
Conclusions:
APHIS concludes that CIADSC has adequate controls at ports of entry for legal importation of
species and products that could carry the diseases under evaluation. Santa Catarina also has the legal
framework and authority to deal with the entry of illegal animal or animal products into the State.
8. Livestock demographics and marketing practices in the region
Market practices and movements within the State could lead to exposure to or spread of diseases. In
this section we explain the livestock demographic practices and the type of production systems in
different areas of Santa Catarina.
General information
