Abattoir Practices and Animal Products Technology

The disadvantages of processing

DISADVANTAGE OF PROCESSING

• The fat cannot be recovered and used separately.
• The foodstuff obtained has poor keeping quality and must be used on the day of production or the following day.
  • If a pressure cooker is available, it can be used to digest the offal.
  • Bones present in the offal will yield up the gelatin but the bones must be removed after treatment.
  • The utilization of offal and/or condemned material is somewhat limited and inefficient unless livestock are available at the site.
  • So, a small abattoir might consider keeping pigs to utilize their processed offal.
