About poultry fat, rendered
cpc code 21522 covers the industry of rendering poultry fat, a crucial process in the poultry processing supply chain. Poultry fat is an important byproduct of poultry processing, with a wide range of applications in the food, cosmetic, and industrial sectors. This industry plays a vital role in the broader agricultural and manufacturing economy, contributing to the efficient utilization of poultry resources and reducing waste.
Production process
The production of rendered poultry fat involves a series of steps, including the collection of poultry fat trimmings, heating, and separation. The fat is typically collected from various stages of poultry processing, such as after the birds are slaughtered and plucked. The collected fat is then heated to high temperatures, which causes the fat to melt and separate from any impurities or water content. The rendered fat is then further processed and refined to meet the specific requirements of its end-use applications.
Production inputs
The main inputs required for the production of rendered poultry fat include the raw poultry fat trimmings, as well as equipment such as rendering tanks, centrifuges, and filtration systems. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or natural gas, are needed to power the heating and separation processes. The industry may also rely on specialized transportation and storage infrastructure to collect and distribute the rendered fat.
Production outputs
The primary output of the poultry fat rendering industry is the rendered poultry fat itself, which can be used in a variety of applications. This includes its use as an ingredient in animal feeds, as a raw material for the production of 21521 Poultry oils and fats, and as a component in various industrial and consumer products. The rendering process may also produce other byproducts, such as protein-rich meals, which can be used in animal feed or further processed.
