Animal by-product processing & utilization

This reference gathers the whole subject of processing and using animal by-products into a single volume. It covers both edible and inedible materials, and looks beyond red meat to the by-products of poultry and seafood. Pharmaceutical and medicinal uses of animal materials are also examined, alongside the handling, reduction and reuse of animal product waste.

A notable focus is the rendering industry, where the author explores new products. The text also addresses the concern that low-temperature rendered materials, if fed to livestock, could spread emerging animal diseases.
