Benefits of Porcine Co-products

Pork is an important source of food and nutrition worldwide, but many people don’t realize just how far pork materials can benefit their daily lives other than a delicious meal. The porcine materials harvested and created in the making of meat products highly impact the health and wellness of humans and other animals.

Sustainability is a key issue. If pigs were only harvested for the products you see at the grocery store, there would be about 40 % wasted materials. However, sustainable harvesting practices make use of the entire animal, and the uses of porcine co-products are astounding. With responsible farming practices, all parts of an animal have a use and value.

The uses of porcine co-products benefit many fields and industries:

Biomedical research

Nutraceuticals

Animal feed science and technology

Life sciences

Consumer goods

A wide variety of industries utilize and benefit from porcine co-products.  A single pig can be used to make over 150 different products that increase the quality of life for millions of people and animals around the world.
