WASTES GENERATED IN MEAT INDUSTRY

Bones
Tendons
Blood
Skin
Contents of gastrointestinal tract
Internal organs
Processing water waste

The meat industry has the potential for generating large

quantities of solid wastes and wastewater with a BOD of 600
milligrams per liter (mg/l) and suspended solids levels can be 800
mg/l and higher.

MEAT BY-PRODUCTS

lung, kidney, brains, spleen- medicine

blood- contains high protein and heme iron
• Blood curd
• Blood sausage
• Blood cake
• Blood plasma- foaming agent
Animal hides- clothing, bags, cosmetics, skin krafting
EFFECT ON SOIL, WATER AND AIR QUALITY

Odour emission from the industry affects the life of people in the
vicinity

Odour from animal feeding operations is not caused by a single

compound, but is rather the result of a large number of contributing
compounds including ammonia (NH3), volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), and hydrogen sulphide (H2S) .

Pesticides used to control pests (e.g. parasites and disease

vectors) and predators have been reported to cause pollution when
they enter groundwater and surface water

Manure contains appreciable quantities of potentially toxic metals

such as arsenic, copper and zinc . In excess, these elements can
become toxic to plants and can enter water systems

FISH BY-PRODUCTS
Collagens containing yellow tail fish bone were used as raw
materials for production of protein hydrolysates and peptides

Fish Protein hydrolysates could be of potential use as food

ingredients.

 Enzymes and bioactive peptides obtained from fish waste are

used for fish silage, fish feed or fish sauce production.

 Auto-hydrolysis of waste fish viscera to produce peptone

hydrolysates and their use in microbiological media to support
growth and bacteriocin production by lactic acid bacteria

Alternative uses of fish processing waste, like utilization of fish

mince, applications of fish gelatin, fish as a source of nutraceutical
ingredients, fishmeal production, the possible use of fish and
protein concentrate as a food source.
EFFECT ON SOIL, WATER AND AIR QUALITY

Effluent streams generated from seafood processing contain oils,

proteins and suspended solids. They can also contain high levels of
phosphates and nitrates. When discharged into water bodies can
cause eutrophication

Deterioration during storage causes release of odourous

compounds such as ammonia, mercaptans, and hydrogen sulphide
gas
DAIRY PROCESS FLOW CHART
EFFECT ON SOIL, AIR AND WATER QUALITY
Processing waters, which include water used in the cooling and
heating processes. These effluents are normally free of pollutants and
can with minimum treatment be reused or just discharged into the
water system generally used for rain runoff water.

Dairy cleaning waters may also contain a variety of sterilizing agents

and various acid and alkaline detergents. The most commonly used CIP
chemicals are caustic soda, nitric acid, phosphoric acid, and sodium
hypochloride. It has to be treated before discharge
WASTE MANAGEMENT

Dairy waste can be effectively treated either with aerobic or

anaerobic processes.

The former consist of low yield, pathogen free product, and high
temperature operation whereas the latter is a simple, low budget
and conservative technology.
