Animal by products are used in the processing of pet foods.
Animal by-products are ground, rendered, and cleaned slaughtered meat carcass parts such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs, bones, heads, and intestines (and a small amount of feathers in the case of chicken) ― yes, by-products are as gross and disgusting as they sound. The quality of animal by-products is very inconsistent between batches.
In many cases, by-product meals are derived from "4-D" meat sources ― defined as food animals that have been rejected for human consumption because they were presented to the meat packing plant as "Dead, Dying, Diseased or Disabled."
Just google it.
here is a good link. The one I never thought about for a long time was gelatin, in jello and many candies and hair gels. It rhymes with skeleton for a reason....boiled hooves, hides, cartilage, etc. I now us agar agar, a natural thickener-makes greal jells.
