Rendered protein specifications

A collection with two distinct product types

Rendered protein specifications cover four meal-labeled ingredients—Porcine Meat Meal, Pork Meal, Poultry Meal and Venison Meal—alongside Porcine Plasma. The meals are dry, ground animal-protein ingredients, while plasma is a blood-derived fraction commonly spray-dried. They are different materials and processing streams, not interchangeable forms of one product.

Names matter, but a catalog name alone does not establish the official ingredient identity, species controls, raw-material exclusions or manufacturing process. In particular, do not assume Pork Meal and Porcine Meat Meal are equivalent, or assign a precise technical definition to Venison Meal without its product documentation.

Compare the specification, not just protein

For meals, review crude protein alongside moisture, fat, fiber, ash, calcium and phosphorus. Particle size and, where relevant to the formulation, amino-acid profile and digestibility measures can also help distinguish products. Differences in species, bone contribution and processing can matter to the finished diet.

For Porcine Plasma, confirm that the material is plasma rather than blood cells, and review species of origin, drying method, moisture, protein and ash. Solubility or other functional measures may be useful when the formulation depends on them. Do not treat published composition or feeding research as a guarantee for a specific lot.

Make values comparable before buying in bulk

Check whether values are reported as-fed or on a dry-matter basis, which analytical methods were used, and whether figures are typical or guaranteed limits. Review the current lot certificate of analysis and confirm identity, particle size, packaging, storage conditions, traceability and applicable feed-safety documentation. These details help determine whether an offered material fits your formulation and receiving requirements.
