Along the plant ingredients, rendered animal protein sources such as blood meal, meat and bone meal and poultry by-product meal have potential to be replaced by fishmeal in rainbow trout feed. Therefore, the main objective of the present study is to determine the effect of full replacement of fishmeal by poultry by-products meal (PBM) on fish performance, nutrient digestibility and also liver c...

The recycling of rendered animal products back into the feed of ruminant livestock species has had a positive impact both on the efficiency of livestock production and the availability of meat and milk for consumers at an affordable price. Rendered animal products are distinguished by a high protein content containing amino acids that resist microbial degradation in the rumen, and for extracted...

The rendering industry collects and safely processes approximately 25 million t of animal byproducts each year in the United States. Rendering plants process a variety of raw materials from food animal production, principally offal from slaughterhouses, but include whole animals that die on farms or in transit and other materials such as bone, feathers, and blood. By recycling these byproducts ...

Salmonellae are resourceful and adaptive organisms that infect a broad range of diverse hosts. Serovars of the genus were first isolated in a poultry mash in 1948, thus establishing a need to assess the pertinence of Salmonella organisms in animal protein feed ingredients. In the study reported here, a random-sampling scheme was established to evaluate the Salmonella population level by three-t...

This chapter addresses the application of rendered products to the production of energy and other industrial uses. The high volume of rendered product generated precludes investigation into most high value/low volume markets. Future regulation relating to biosecurity and environmental protection has the potential to restrict traditional market access for rendered co-products. It is essential to...
