Meat & Bone Meal (MBM) is a by-product of Meat Industry and is processed in Rendering Plants. It contains among others fat, meat, organs, bones, blood and. They are cooked (rendered) to produce a nutritional and economical feed ingredient. Almost 30% of the live weight of an animal ends up as offal. Offal are those parts of the animal that are not fit for human consumption MBM has a high energy value, high protein content and contains many minerals and vitamins. This makes it an interesting raw material for feed manufacturers. . It is important to note that blood, hair, hoofs, horns, manure, stomach contents, and hide trimmings are not used in the production of meat meal. When bones are added to meat meal, it is considered meat and bone meal. It is a rich and cost effective source of energy and provides all types of amino acids required for the growth of chicks & eggs. Meat and Bone Meal is an excellent source of protein. In poultry diets, meat and bone meal is typically used averaging 2-7% of the diet content because of high calcium, phosphorus and lysine content of the meal.

 

Benefits of MBM compared to Soya

MBM is a rich and profitable source of Protein and energy and provides all types of essential amino acids required for the growth of chicks and eggs. During the growth periods in poultry, high protein diets are necessary. Due to its rich and natural content of Phosphorus MBM is a profitable alternative/substitute for DCP. Soya based protein has either less amounts of essential amino acids or lacks one or more amino acids.

Characteristics of Meat and Bone Meal

​

1. Meat and Bone meal is a relatively dry material which has been rendered and heat-sterilized.

2. Meat and bone meal has a high fat content. With prolonged storage, this fat can become rancid.

3. Studies and Research conducted related to the use of Meat and Bone Meal across the world indicate that most nutritionists consider levels between 2 - 7 percent acceptable.

4. High quality meat and bone meal is usually guaranteed to contain a minimum of 43 percent crude protein. Meat and bone meal normally contains a minimum of 4 percent total phosphorus. Calcium typically does not exceed 2.2 times the level of total phosphorus.

5. Differences in the types of raw materials incorporated in Integrated Slaughter Houses, together with differences in processing method and conditions, result in variations in the nutrient profile of meat and bone meal. Due to the variability of raw ingredient inputs into meat and bone meal (MBM), the nutritional composition of each batch can vary. There can be significant protein variability in different batches of MBM.

​

Sterilization of Meat and Bone Meal

Sterilized Meat and Bone Meal is derived from healthy buffalo which is inspected by veterinary doctors at Integrated Buffalo Slaughter Houses in India under the aegis of Agricultural and processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), under the Ministry of Commerce, Government of India. The buffaloes slaughtered are fit for  human consumption and free from diseases. Therefore, the quality of bones, animal tissues going into the rendering are also free from diseases, pathogens, bacteria and fungi etc., which ensures good and consistent quality of MBM.  

​

The ideal temperature for sterilizing meat bone meal is typically around 133°C (271°F) for at least 20 minutes. This temperature and duration are effective in killing harmful bacteria and pathogens, ensuring the bone meal is safe for use in various applications.

​

Low Moisture

Low moisture percent in Meat and Bone Meal is ensured by uniform drying of defatted cakes at high temperature which further enhances sterilization and eliminates the presence of Salmonella & Ecoli.

 

Different tests around the world have concluded the efficacy of Meat and Bone Meal for Starter, Grower & Finisher Feeds.
