Co-products

Co-products account for approximately 11% of the value of a slaughtered animal (with skins and hides making up 6%, offal 4% and other rendered products making up the remaining 1% of the value). The remaining 89% of the value is the meat. Co-products make up approximately 62% of the weight of a slaughtered animal. 

There are four main classifications for co-products:

  • Offal
  • Rendered products
  • Hides and skins
  • Pharmaceutical products
