Animal By-Product or Animal Waste Removal Services
As uncomfortable as it might be to discuss, there are vast quantities of animal by-products that arise and are created through multiple methods such as food manufacturing. Animal by-products include elements such as feathers, skin, entrails, offal, bones and the like.
There are unsurprisingly strict legal as well as ethical considerations that must be taken into account when dealing safely and effectively with the disposal of animal by-products.
Safe and Legal Collection and Disposal of Animal Waste
It stands to reason that you cannot simply throw animal waste in the bin. There are substantial health, storage, transport and other considerations that need to be taken into account when dealing with waste products emanating from animals. At the bottom of this page, we have reproduced the categories of animal waste for you as a handy reference.

Current Government Guidelines and Classifications of Animal By-Products (ABP’s)
ABPs are animal carcasses, parts of animals, or other materials which come from animals but are not meant for humans to eat.
They can either be destroyed or can be used to make compost, biogas or other products.
ABP categories explained
ABPs are divided into 3 categories, based on the risks they pose.
Category 1 ABPs
Category 1 ABPs are classed as high risk.
They include:
- carcasses and all body parts of animals suspected of being infected with TSE (transmissible spongiform encephalopathy)
- carcasses of wild animals suspected of being infected with a disease that humans or animals could contract
- carcasses of animals used in experiments
- parts of animals that are contaminated due to illegal treatments
- international catering waste
- carcasses and body parts from zoo and circus animals or pets
- specified risk material (body parts that pose a particular disease risk, eg cows’ spinal cords)
Category 2 ABPs
Category 2 ABPs are classed as high risk.
They include:
- animals rejected from abattoirs due to having infectious diseases
- carcasses containing residues from authorised treatments
- unhatched poultry that has died in its shell
- carcasses of animals killed for disease control purposes
- carcasses of dead livestock
- manure
- digestive tract content
Category 3 ABPs
Category 3 ABPs are classed as low risk.
They include:
- carcasses or body parts passed fit for humans to eat, at a slaughterhouse
- products or foods of animal origin originally meant for human consumption but withdrawn for commercial reasons, not because it’s unfit to eat
- domestic catering waste
- shells from shellfish with soft tissue
- eggs, egg by-products, hatchery by-products and eggshells
- aquatic animals, aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates
- hides and skins from slaughterhouses
- animal hides, skins, hooves, feathers, wool, horns, and hair that had no signs of infectious disease at death
- processed animal proteins (PAP)
- PAP are animal proteins processed from any category 3 ABP except:
- milk, colostrum or products derived from them
- eggs and egg products, including eggshells
- gelatine
- collagen
- hydrolysed proteins
- dicalcium phosphate and tricalcium phosphate of animal origin
