As global demand for sustainable sources of animal feed and food continues to grow, the rendering industry has a pivotal part to play in the supply chain. In particular, meat and bone meal for feed and tallow for food and industry are the two highly popular outputs from the rendering process. At the same time, the recycling aspect of rendering has a positive sustainability angle, for example, by squeezing the last drops from resources and reducing the release of carbon dioxide from carcass disposal.
Nonetheless, challenges to efficiency and profit in rendering remain. Accurate measurement of protein with meat and bone meal analysis is essential. Similarly, parameters such as fat, moisture and ash are important for ensuring an optimal production process and for product declaration purposes according to strict industry regulation. The rendering process involves high temperature and the process is heavy on resources. Once started, the process is not easy to adjust, but for producers who need to meet specific targets in their final product, agility in the production line is a necessity.
Rapid meat and bone meal analysis of rendered meat for parameters such as fat, moisture, ash and protein enables fast adjustment of the production process. Tests can be performed during processing and on the finished meal products. Advantages include ensuring that the right protein content is reached in the final blend of meal, higher yield in processing and improved brand recognition leading to more sales from improved final product quality and consistency.

Fast and accurate standardization of meat and bone meal with NIRS™ DS3
Fast and accurate standardization of key parameters in meat and bone meal are key when it comes to gaining profit. FOSS expert Davide Manfrin demonstrates how easy it is to prepare samples with the NIRS™ DS3 and get fast, accurate results that make a huge difference for controlling fat, moisture, protein and ash at every step of your rendering production.
Interview with the owner and director of Lipitalia rendering in Italy reveals how rapid analysis of rendering products throughout the production process helps to meet growing calls for specific quality characteristics. These could include, for instance, strict specifications for ash, protein and fat in material destined for pet food production.
The protein content of final products from rendering will always vary, but with effective segregation, batches can be made to match customers’ exact need for protein content. Learn how Italian Avicoop has used NIR in-line analyzers in their rendering production process.
