Abstract

The meat processing industry has emerged as a major food industry of the world, irrespective of geographical location, due to the fact that meat is considerably consumed by humans since ancient times. As per FAO (2009), the world bovine meat production recorded 5.98 million tons, while sheep and goat meat production was 1.31 million tons, followed by pork (9.92 million tons) and poultry (7.58 million tons). The United States is the largest producer of beef (1.2 million tons), followed by Brazil (0.7 million ton). Out of 6.3 million tons of eggs that are produced annually in the world, China, India, Brazil, and the United States contribute 2.56 million tons, 0.267 million ton, 0.185 million ton, and 0.53 million ton, respectively. Because of the unaesthetic appearance and poor quality of the by-products, a large percentage of them are at present either discarded as wastes or compounded as the components of feeds or fertilizers. © 2013 by Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
