Animal nutrition researchers at Decision Innovation Solutions have published findings from an analysis of the pet food market, which highlights the prevalence of rendered ingredients upcycled from the food chain to boost product palatability, nutrition, and sustainability. Rendering safely converts nutrient-rich materials like organ meats, bones, and fat, which are largely considered inedible, into highly digestible protein meals and energy-dense fats. The process heats these materials to separate fat and water from protein and bone.
