Technologies for on-site production of animal feed from food waste:

Introduction
A range of source separated food organics can be used as animal food as livestock can eat some foodstuffs that humans will not consume. Food organics can be processed to meet the nutritional requirements of targeted animal groups or to provide supplementary animal feed. As processing technologies and nutritional value becomes more specific and complex, planning and capital costs, operating costs and the value of the end product tend to increase.

Technologies for on-site processing of food organics for use as animal feeds are listed below, however such activities must comply with regulations and laws that apply. You are advised to check with departments of health, agriculture and environment to identify current compliance requirements in your jurisdiction.

Health Regulations
NOTE: There are a number of health and quality issues that regulate the application of food organics as animal food. These regulations aim to avoid risk and prevent the spread of serious animal diseases including foot and mouth disease, a range of viral diseases, and also BSE (mad cow disease).

In NSW regulations include, but are not limited to the NSW Stock Foods Act, and the Stock Food Regulations and the Stock Diseases Act which require:

• That NO tissue or blood from any animal or bird can be fed to pigs.
• That NO food waste can be fed to pigs unless the material has been rendered or sterilised.
• That NO meat products (including tissue, blood or feathers) can be fed to ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, deer etc.).

More information can be found in the report 'Food Organics Processing Options for New South Wales' available free to download.

NSW DPI also has a number of Primefact information sheets (formerly “Agnotes”) that cover these issues in summary:

Primefact 311: Dangers in feeding waste material to livestock (replaces Agnote DAI-181)
Primefact 313: Feed controls - stopping BSE (Mad Cow Disease) (replaces Agnote DAI-227)
Primefact 318: Manufactured stock food requirements
