How to compost dead animals in 5 easy to follow steps. Composting uses microorganisms and heat to break down the carcass. It's a preferred method for disposing of livestock carcasses. If composting one animal, you should build a pile, but if you're composting several animals, create a long row. You’ll need base material such as straw, old hay or coarse crop residue (corn stalks), bulking material such as manure or spoiled silage, and cover material such as straw, old hay or sawdust.
