About animal fats, rendered
cpc code 2152 covers the industry of rendering animal fats, a critical process in the broader agricultural and food production sectors. Animal fats are a valuable byproduct of livestock processing, providing a range of applications from cooking oils to industrial lubricants. This industry plays a vital role in maximizing the utilization of animal resources and reducing waste, contributing to the overall efficiency and sustainability of the food supply chain.
Production process
The production of rendered animal fats typically involves a rendering process, where animal carcasses, offal, and other animal-derived materials are cooked and processed to extract the fat. This process often includes steps such as size reduction, heating, and separation to isolate the desired fat components. The specific techniques may vary depending on the type of animal fat being produced, but the goal is to create a stable, high-quality fat product that can be used in a variety of applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the animal fats rendering industry include raw animal materials such as 0141 Raising of cattle and buffaloes, 0142 Raising of horses and other equines, 0143 Raising of camels and camelids, and 0145 Raising of sheep and goats. Additionally, the industry requires specialized equipment and machinery for the rendering process, as well as energy sources, such as heat and power, to facilitate the production.
Production outputs
The primary output of the animal fats rendering industry is the rendered animal fat itself, which can be used in a variety of applications. These fats may be further processed and refined for use in 1041 Manufacture of oils and fats, 1051 Operation of dairies and cheese making, and 2059 Manufacture of other chemical products n.e.c. industries, among others. The rendering process also generates other byproducts, such as protein-rich meals, which can be used as animal feed or further processed for other purposes.
