DMRI Utilisation of By-Products

By-products constitute a large share of the animal. When you buy a pig, you pay a price for the entire animal. The best performing companies are distinguished by their ability to increase value of the by-products and reduce the operational costs.

The typical improvement points in by-product utilization are:

• Managemental focus on by-products
• Logistics resulting in higher productivity
• Handling and chilling resulting in higher value products and longer shelf life
• Storage facilities
• Access to knowledge for alternative use of by-products
• Reduced use of water and energy
   

A potential economic benefit from alternative utilization of by-products depends on several factors:

• Local customers/production based on by-products
• Market parameters (product prices, quantities and quality requirements)
• Market access (export)

The service offered by DMRI consists of a Production Analysis of the existing production, identification of areas to be improved and a proposed plan of action to realize the potential.

The output from the Production Analysis:

• Present utilization of by-products
• Proposals for alternative usage
• Productivity
• Logistics and handling
• Quality of products
• Savings of energy and water
• Identification and recommendation of areas to be improved – Project Catalogue

Following the Production Analysis, the next step will be to implement the most profitable projects identified.

DMRI offer our consultancy services concerning these improvements:

• Designs and specifications
• Plan for successive implementation
