Kazakhstani scientists are developing compound feed from meat processing waste that could cut livestock production costs by replacing expensive protein ingredients, Orda.kz reports.

Scientists at the Kazakh National Research Institute of Food and Processing Industry are working on a new feed technology based on animal-origin multi-protein raw materials. The formula uses meat-and-bone meal, blood-and-bone meal, as well as hydrolysates made from waste generated by the meat processing industry.

According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the rising cost of traditional feed components, especially protein-based ones, is pushing up production costs and weakening competitiveness in the livestock sector.

The ministry says modern animal husbandry depends on nutritionally complete, affordable and biologically valuable feed. Against this background, the search for cheaper alternatives is becoming increasingly important.

The researchers are also adding probiotic supplements to the feed. These are expected to stabilize microflora, improve nutrient digestibility, support metabolic processes and reduce the risk of gastrointestinal diseases in cattle.
