Summary
The MLA co-product program seeks to improve the returns for co-products; protect market access for traditional uses of co-products and to develop alternative uses for co-products. Achievement of these objectives maintains the value of co-products relative to the total carcass worth.
A review of MLA co-products 58 projects was completed and then feedback obtained from industry stakeholders to assess the appropriateness of co-products program strategies. Analysis of the projects and the stakeholder interviews has resulted in a number of
recommendations for MLA assessment to improve the uptake of project work and future projects of interest to stakeholders.
