Blood getting into condensation hole in fridge

My deer chiller has a small hole at the back, for collecting condensation. This feeds into a pipe that runs into a small container underneath.

It inevitably collects blood, which either gets stuck in the pipe or builds up in the container. And then starts to stink.

Can anyone suggest how to stop this?

I do have a drip tray, but this does not cover the hole.
 
Just a light weight drip tray, sat on the top step, with a stone in it to stop it falling forward.
 
If the chiller is similar to fridges/freezers, the condensate hole drains to a vessel that sits above the motor/compressor/something - aiding cooling of said thingy as it evaporates.........
 
Unfortunately, the base is stepped, so a bucket will sit on the forward part, but not at the back where the hole is. I do this if I have one deer, but if I have two, or a single bigger deer, it doesn’t work.
Same problem...
I use a clean brick and a plastic washing up bowl!!
similar solution...

I found a stainless steel catering tray...heavy duty baking tray...sat on the rear shelf with a block of wood underneath to support the front...in fact it is a reconstituted plastic lumber offcut.

Catering supplies or get a local metalworker to make a tray to suit...(I have mentioned my friends at Ratho Byres to you before..)
