About animal fats
cpc code 215 covers the industry of animal fats, which plays a crucial role in various sectors of the economy. Animal fats are derived from the fatty tissues of livestock, such as cattle, sheep, and pigs, and are widely used in the production of a range of products, including food, cosmetics, and industrial applications. This industry is an important component of the broader agricultural and food processing sectors, contributing to the supply of essential raw materials and supporting the livelihoods of farmers and producers.
Production process
The production of animal fats typically involves the rendering process, where the fatty tissues are heated and the fat is extracted. This process may involve various steps, such as pre-treatment, cooking, and separation, to ensure the efficient extraction and purification of the desired fats. The specific techniques used can vary depending on the type of animal, the desired fat composition, and the intended end-use of the product.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the animal fats industry include the fatty tissues of livestock, which are the primary raw material. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment and machinery for the rendering process, as well as energy sources, such as electricity or fuel, to power the production facilities. Water may also be used in the rendering process for cleaning and processing purposes.
Production outputs
The primary output of the animal fats industry is the extracted and refined animal fats, which can be used in a variety of applications. These fats may be further processed or blended to meet the specific requirements of different industries. Some of the industries that may consume the output of the animal fats industry include the 211 Meat and meat products, 212 Dairy products, 241 Oils and fats, and 246 Soap and detergents, cleaning and polishing preparations, perfumes and toilet preparations industries.
