What to look for when sourcing meat and bone meal

Product specification

A poultry-based meal and a mixed-species meal serve different feed formulas. Start with the intended use and the required nutrient profile.

Species and process

Specify the animal species or mix, and the rendering process used, such as batch or continuous. Confirm whether the meal is from mammalian or poultry tissues.

Nutrient parameters

Agree on protein, fat, moisture, ash, and calcium and phosphorus levels. These values determine the meal's feeding value and storage stability.

Form and packaging

Confirm the physical form, such as meal or pellets, and the packaging type, like bulk or bagged. Check particle size and density for handling and mixing.

Quality acceptance

Nutrient analysis is central to quality, but you also need to assess safety and physical condition. Agree on sampling methods and how the shipment will be judged.

Laboratory analysis
Set the methods for protein, fat, moisture, ash, and any required heavy metal or pathogen testing. Ask who performs the analysis and how samples are drawn.
Physical and sensory checks
Check appearance, odor, and absence of foreign material or clumping. Rancidity or a burnt smell indicates heat damage during rendering.
Acceptance and claims
Define the sampling point, whether at loading or arrival, and the allowable deviation from the specification. Retain a sealed sample and agree on the claim procedure for off-spec material.

Origin requirements

Origin can affect the meal's nutrient profile and regulatory acceptance. Define the acceptable sourcing regions and any restrictions on animal by-product categories.

Sourcing region

Specify the countries or regions where the raw material can originate. Ask the supplier if the meal is from a single plant or a blend of plants.

Category and traceability

Confirm the animal by-product category and the traceability to slaughterhouses and collection points. This affects the meal's permitted uses in different markets.

Seasonal variation

Check if the nutrient profile changes with raw material availability across seasons. For consistent feed formulation, ask about typical ranges and variability.

Commercial terms

Meat and bone meal can be quoted per metric ton on different delivery bases. Compare offers on the same terms to get a true price.

Price basis: Confirm the currency and unit of measurement, and whether the price is per metric ton or per pound. Ask if the price is fixed or may vary with raw material costs.
Delivery terms: Define the Incoterms, such as FOB at the plant, CIF at the destination port, or delivered to your facility. Align freight, insurance, and import or local charges.
Payment and volume: Specify the contract quantity, any minimum order, and payment terms such as advance, against documents, or on delivery. Agree on the shipment window and flexibility.

Documentation & compliance

Exporting meat and bone meal involves health and customs documentation. Ensure the paperwork matches the specific product and destination requirements.

Health and origin documents: Request the veterinary or health certificate from the country of origin, and the plant registration or approval number. Check that the species and process match the certificate.
Certification and category: If the meal is certified for a particular use, like organic or for pet food, verify the current scope and the transaction certificate. Confirm the animal by-product category shown.
Destination rules: For EU or other regulated markets, confirm the import conditions, including any treatment declarations. Ask whether a private attestation or notarized document is needed.

Supplier capability

The supplier may be a renderer, a trader, or a broker. Establish who is accountable for consistent quality and for resolving any shipment issues.

Production and storage
Identify whether the supplier processes the meal or buys from others. Ask about their storage, handling, and blending capabilities and how they avoid contamination.
Consistency
Ask how the supplier controls nutrient variability between batches. For multi-source material, determine if they blend to a target analysis.
Order flexibility
Confirm the minimum quantity, lead time, and ability to supply in different packaging. For spot purchases, check product availability and sample provision.
