Poultry Protein & Fat Council Offers Free CD

The Poultry Protein & Fat Council has combined its recently completed literature review and a feather meal videotape into a new CD-ROM that is available to members, nutritionists, and potential PPFC customers at no charge.

“We are pleased to provide this information in an easy-to-navigate format,” said John Starkey, P.E., U.S. Poultry & Egg Association vice president of environmental programs and PPFC liaison. “This will be a useful tool for promoting our member companies’ products throughout the world. It also will serve as an educational tool, enabling the poultry rendering industry and nutritionists to locate the information they need quickly and efficiently.”

The Literature Review was conducted this year by Dr. Gene Pesti, professor of poultry science and animal nutrition at The University of Georgia. It includes over 400 articles on the use of poultry meal, feather meal, and poultry fat as feed ingredients in virtually all animal sectors. The review also includes an explanation of how poultry protein and fat products are produced, product definitions, and the latest research information on feeding to various species.

The 16-minute video, available in English, discusses using feather meal as an animal protein source in feed rations for feedlot, cow/calf, range cattle, and dairy operations. It highlights research conducted by the University of Florida and the University of Nebraska that suggest feather meal performs well in the areas of cost, increased performance, milk production gains, and improved breeding efficiency.

The Poultry Protein & Fat Council was established in 1989 to promote research and usage of feather meal, poultry meal, poultry fat, and poultry blood meal as valuable feed ingredients. The council sponsors an annual seminar and funds research and promotional programs. Council members also attend feed industry trade shows to promote the use of their products.
