Which method of carcass disposal involves mixing 1 part carcass to 2 parts litter and 1 part straw in alternate layers in a boxed, enclosed area?

Composting is the method of carcass disposal that involves mixing 1 part carcass to 2 parts litter and 1 part straw in alternate layers in a boxed, enclosed area.

Composting method allows the organic material to decompose naturally through the use of heat and microbial activity, transforming the carcasses into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Composting fits within the Incident Command System’s (ICS) broader framework of managing animal health and environmental impacts during disasters. For example, during a mass livestock casualty event, composting can be used as a sustainable disposal solution.
