Animal by-products provide opportunity to cut carbon footprint of feed

Leave a Comment / News, PAPs, Publication, Research, Sustainability / Leo Towsend

Lifecycle analysis has shown the carbon footprint benefits of using animal by-products (ABP) in feed. For European feed compounders, locally produced Processed Animal Proteins (PAPs) and rendered fat can replace soymeal and palm oil with a net reduction in carbon emissions. Conducted by Blonk consultants on behalf of the European Fat Renderers and Processors Association […]

Circularity in animal feed

Leave a Comment / News, PAPs, Research, Sustainability / Leo Towsend

A recent webinar hosted by the Schothorst Feed Research presented findings from a 5-year research project into ways to increase circularity in animal feed. The research looked at a range of by-products and co-products including PAPs to assess how they could be better utilised in animal feed to close the protein gap. All seven presentations

Summary of research on PAPs in pig diets

Leave a Comment / PAPs, Research, White Paper / Leo Towsend

Processed Animal Proteins (PAPs) were banned from diets of farmed animals in the EU for approximately 20 years. During this time processing techniques for animal proteins have changed and improved. Consequently, the specifications of products in feedstuff tables do not accurately represent the composition and quality of available PAPs. Since September 2021, amendments to the

GFLI White Paper Published

Leave a Comment / News, PAPs, Publications, Research / Leo Towsend

A new EFPRA White Paper provides more details on the carbon footprint of using rendered fat and PAP in feed. The publication titled ‘Life Cycle Assessment of Rendered Products (GFLI Methodology)‘ is based on research from Blonk Consultants. It assesses the carbon footprint of a range of rendered by-products for use in animal feed compared

Feed Ban lifted

Leave a Comment / Legislation, PAPs, Research / efpraminda

The European Commission has officially revised the so called ‘feed ban’ which restricted the use of Processed Animal Proteins (PAPs) in livestock diets. PAPs derived from poultry are now permitted in diets for pigs. While, porcine PAPs are now permissible in poultry diets. There is no change in legislation relating to PAPs and ruminants. The
