animal by-product

Optimising waste and by-product utilisation and conversion to value streams
This project quantified the volume of waste and by-products produced by the egg industry, and reported total nutrients contained in the by-products. In addition, a manual outlining viable strategies for by-product and waste management and utilisation was produced.

Reducing the use of animal by-product meals in layer diets
Economic constraints and public concerns have compelled the poultry industry to increasingly use a range of cheaper, alternative plant-derived feedstuffs in feed formulations and eliminate the use of animal by-product meals.
