Rendering plays a critical role in animal agriculture by converting by-products into valuable fats and proteins for feed, pet food, fuel and industrial markets. The process already has a major built-in advantage. A validated cook step helps create stable, usable ingredients and supports

Ingredient traceability is often discussed as a documentation requirement, something needed for audits, customer expectations or worst-case recall scenarios. But for feed mills managing poultry, swine or integrated production systems, traceability should do more than help teams look

The pellet press gets the credit. The feed bin gets the blame. Somewhere between those two points, transport, storage, conveyance and delivery infrastructure, feed hygienic quality is routinely compromised in ways that may be missed in a root-cause analysis. Thermal processing and

In swine systems, health challenges rarely start at one point or stay contained there. Pathogen pressure builds across the production chain through animal movement, people, equipment, facilities, feed, water, pests and transport. That is why multi-point intervention in swine production

Feed contamination is easy to price when the loss is visible. A rejected ingredient, a held load, a reformulated diet or a sanitation bill can all be counted quickly. The harder part is valuing what happens after that. In swine systems, contaminated feed is not just a quality problem at

Microbial mapping is easy to describe as a testing exercise. In practice, its value is much broader than that. For renderers, the more useful question is not simply whether microorganisms are present, but where microbial pressure is entering the system, where it is likely to persist and
