Poultry Meal

Brief Overview

Poultry meal is a natural source of high protein from dry and rendered fresh poultry,  it consists of the milled, rendered, and cleaned parts of the carcasses of slaughtered poultry including head, feed, and intestines.  poultry meal, rendering is required for stabilization and transformation of raw unused poultry parts into a form that can be easily stored and transported.

Poultry meal is commonly used for feed ingredients in livestock feed such as poultry, aqua, ruminants, non ruminants, and pet food. It is high quality feed ingredients due to essential amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and minerals and high palatable. Poultry meal should be mention and guarantees minimum crude protein, minimum crude fat, maximum crude fiber, minimum phosphorous (P), and minimum and maximum calcium (Ca) in the lable.

Manufacturing Process

A method is proposed for producing meat and bone poultry meal, in which raw material comprising tissue and bones is consecutively ground, cooked to a pulp, hydrolyzed, sterilized, degreased and dried. In the method, the mass of ground raw material is fed into a thin-layered boiler and hydrolyzer, in a layer of not more than 30 mm, where it is cooked to a pulp at a temperature of 180-250°C for 90-300 sec., after which said boiled and hydrolyzed product is fed into a vacuum drying unit where it is dried at a temperature of 110°C for 90 min, and then the dried product is fed to an extractor where the dried product is extracted with a hexane solvent at a temperature of 55-60°C for 45-60 min, the poultry meal is separated from molasses, and the poultry meal is dried in a toasting oven with simultaneous removal of hexane solvent vapours, which are condensed and returned to the process, wherein the molasses are separated from the hexane solvent by boiling off the hexane solvent, which is then condensed and returned to the process.

Animal Feed Industry

Poultry meal provides important protein in rument with high digestability, and high palatibilty with soybean meal. It contains digestible amino acid such as Lysine compared to soybean meal and best amino acid profile including mineral such as calcium and phosphorus
