Northampton Preface Inedible meat, poultry and fish by-products are major contributors to the profitability of the slaughterers and processors of all types of muscle food. Although the by-products per se make important economic contributions to the productivity of the industries, their importance varies widely between classes and for different species. As important as this may be, the utilization of the otherwise waste by-products has become even more crucial from the standpoint of protecting the environment. Hence, the editors decided that a book dealing with inedible meat, poultry and fish by-products would be useful not only to slaughterers and processors, but also to those involved in research and teaching. Focusing on the advan tages of the useful inedible products and methods involved in their pro duction could very well lead to new and better uses for by-products as well as in improving the environment. As in past volumes of this series, the authors are leaders in their respective fields of discussion. Their expertise provides not only a back ground on present industrial practices but also areas and means for improving the production of by-products. The first chapter (1) provides an overview on the importance of meat, poultry and fish by-products and puts them into perspective relative to their economic contributions. The next two chapters (2 and 3) discuss the processes involved in turning hides, pelts and skins into leather and their use in producing finished leather and leather products. The following chapter (4) covers the wool pullery and production of pulled wool along with the disposal and use of animal hair. Chapter 5 covers production and utilization of blood meal, meat and bone scraps, and tallow. The next chapter (6) discusses inedible fats and greases and their reclamation and uses by industry, including feeding to animals. Chapter 7 covers soaps and detergents and their manufacture. Chapter 13 focuses on production of pet foods as a user of inedible by-products from the meat, poultry and fish industries, which provides a major market for such products. Other topics discussed include the production and utilization of feathers, feather meal and other poultry by-products (Chapter 8), fishery vi Preface by-products (Chapter 9), sporting goods (Chapter 14), pharmaceutical and biological products (Chapter 12) and production and utilization of inedible gelatin and glue (Chapter 10). Three other chapters focus on problems involved in disposal of waste material as fertilizers and/or recycling through feeding back to other animals (Chapter 11), composting and land application (Chapter 15) and finally reduction of pollution and reclaiming other packinghouse waste (Chapter 16). The last chapter also discusses water conservation, air pollution and noise abatement. Overall, this book should bring readers up to date on utilization of inedible meat, poultry and fish by-products. A.M. PEARSON T.R. DUTSON Contents Preface ..... v List of Contributors XIX 1.
