Animal fats for industry and selected meat meals
Experience, professionalism and research in the processing of raw materials
DI.GI.MA. has been collecting and processing Category 3 slaughterhouse by-products, derived from raw materials suitable for human consumption, for over seventy years. Its experience in the sector, combined with ongoing research and careful selection of raw materials, allows the company to produce animal fats for the industry and meat meal for specific production purposes. The incoming by-products are selected and subjected to controlled processes to separate the fat from the protein, maintaining a high level of quality, traceability, and the characteristics required by the various supply chains. Its knowledge of raw materials and processing techniques allows DI.GI.MA. to produce specialized products, suited to the needs of the animal feed, pet food, and industrial sectors.
A differentiated offering starting from selected raw materials
The company specializes in processing raw materials from various species and collects Category 3 by-products directly from major food companies. Proper separation of materials allows for the production of protein meals used in the production of dog, cat, and bird food. These ingredients are used in formulations developed by industry professionals, in compliance with their specific intended uses. DI.GI.MA. also collects and processes raw hides and skins for tanning, contributing to the valorization of various animal by-products. The coordinated management of fats, protein meals, and hides allows for a structured service, aimed at both supplying food companies and industrial operators requiring selected raw materials.
Animal fats for feed and industry
Animal fats for industry, obtained from processing, are delivered in a liquid state by tanker. When operating conditions permit, DI.GI.MA. can deliver directly using its own vehicles, even for quantities ranging approximately from 4 to 10 tons. The potential uses are diverse and include farms with in-house feed production facilities, the pet food sector, and specific chemical industry processes. Due to its natural tendency to solidify, the product must be maintained at a temperature of approximately 50°C during both transport and storage. Receiving facilities must therefore be adequately equipped to maintain the fat's fluidity and facilitate unloading, transfer, and use.
