Meat and bone mealedit
From The Properties of Biological Materials
Meat and bone meal (MBM) is a product of the rendering industry. It is primarily used in the formulation of animal feed to improve the amino acid profile of the feed. Feeding of MBM to cattle is thought to have been responsible for the spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (mad cow disease). In most parts of the world, MBM is no longer allowed in feed for ruminant animals. However, in some areas, including the US, MBM is still used to feed monogastric animals.
In Europe, some MBM is used as an ingredient in pet food but the vast majority is now used as a fossil-fuel replacement for renewable energy generation, as a fuel in cement kilns, landfill or incineration.
