Meat and bone meal (MBM) is an animal feed composed of rendered remains from livestock and poultry. This product typically includes bones, flesh, and occasionally blood from animals, which are processed using heat treatment to eliminate pathogens and reduce moisture content. MBM is widely used as a high-protein component in animal feed, particularly for poultry, pigs, and fish, and is valued for its nutritional benefits, including essential amino acids, minerals, and energy.
The main types of meat and bone meal are those derived from cow and sheep sources and those from other animals. Cow and sheep ingredients specifically refer to by-products rendered from cattle and sheep, offering varying protein levels, such as 60% and 65% protein. These products are utilized in various applications including animal feed, fuel, fertilizer, and pet food.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
Tariffs are influencing the meat and bone meal market by affecting trade flows of animal byproducts, processed protein meals, and rendering outputs across international markets. Poultry and livestock feed producers in Asia-Pacific and Europe are most impacted due to reliance on imported MBM for feed formulation. These tariffs are contributing to cost fluctuations and procurement adjustments within feed supply chains. At the same time, they are supporting domestic rendering operations, regional feed ingredient production, and increased utilization of locally sourced animal byproducts.

The rising demand for animal feed is anticipated to propel the growth of the meat and bone meal market in the coming years. Animal feed refers to formulated food products created to fulfill the nutritional requirements of livestock, poultry, and other domesticated animals, supporting their growth, health, and productivity. Increasing global consumption of meat, dairy products, and eggs, along with expanding livestock production and the need for improved efficiency in animal farming, is driving the demand for animal feed. Meat and bone meal is highly valued in animal nutrition due to its rich protein and mineral content as well as its cost-effectiveness, making it a widely used ingredient in a variety of animal feed formulations. For instance, in July 2024, according to the Department for Environment, Food, and Rural Affairs, a UK-based ministerial department, the total volume of animal feed rose by 5.9%, increasing from 29.3 million metric tons in 2022 to 31.1 million metric tons in 2023. Therefore, the growing demand for animal feed is fueling the expansion of the meat and bone meal market.
Key players in the meat and bone meal market are focusing on developing innovative products such as cultivated meat to provide convenience and extend shelf life. Cultivated meat, also known as cultured or cell-based meat, is produced by growing animal cells in a controlled environment instead of raising and slaughtering animals. For instance, in March 2024, Meatly, a UK-based pet food manufacturer, introduced cultivated chicken pet food. This product is made through a unique three-step process beginning with a small sample of cells from a chicken egg. These cells are then provided with essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids and grown in a controlled environment that manages temperature and acidity.
