ADV. OF MEAT MEAL
MEAT-AND-BONE MEAL
Meat and meat-and-bone meal is produced from animals which did not use genetically modified substances. The meal is produced on meat factories and slaughterhouses compliant with veterinary and sanitary requirements. Raw material is processed at high (over 120 C°) temperatures and pressures for 30 minutes.
Raw material for production of the meal is represented by non-suitable for food purposes carcasses and corps of not infected animals, as well as bones, inner organs, and other meat wastes; the meal is produced by grinding of these products and further drying. Meat meal is mostly used in pig breeding and birds breeding.
Chemical compositions of meat and fish flour are almost the same; however, meat meal contains less methionine and cystine. Meat meal
contains 50 – 60 % of proteins and digestible fats and is an excellent source of energy.Raw material for production of the meal is represented by non-suitable for food purposes carcasses and corps of not infected animals, as well as bones, inner organs, and other meat wastes; the meal is produced by grinding of these products and further drying.
