MASI supplies Meat & Bone Meal (MBM) with a protein content of 50–57% min — an animal protein source combined with essential minerals, particularly calcium and phosphorus, used as a raw material in animal feed production. The product is sourced from a range of origins and markets including the United States, Europe, Germany, Argentina and Australia, meeting the diverse requirements of animal feed mills in terms of composition and specification.
1. What is Meat & Bone Meal?
Meat & Bone Meal (MBM) is a product derived from mammalian animal tissues, including bone. The raw materials are heat-treated to reduce moisture and fat content, then ground into powder form. According to the AAFCO feed ingredient definition, Meat & Bone Meal is an animal product that has undergone thermal and mechanical processing, contains bone, and is regulated according to compositional requirements.
Raw material sources may include by-products from animal slaughter and processing such as trimmings, animal tissues, bones, and other parts that meet the specifications of each product line. The composition of MBM can vary depending on the source of raw material and the proportion of bone in the finished product.
By combining animal protein with minerals derived from bone, MBM is used in animal feed formulations to supplement protein, amino acids, and minerals, supporting the development of balanced nutritional rations for livestock.

3. Product Specifications of MASI Meat & Bone Meal
MASI supplies MBM with a range of specifications to suit the different blending requirements of animal feed mills. Based on data from current supply sources, key parameters typically fall within the following ranges:
| Component/Parameter | Content |
| Protein | Min 50% - 57% |
| Fat | Min 10% - 16% |
| Moisture | Max 5% - 10% |
| Ash | Max 28% - 35% |
| Pepsin Digestibility | Min 85% |
Actual parameters may vary depending on the raw material source, country of origin, and the specification of each shipment. Therefore, when selecting MBM, businesses should refer to the COA and technical specifications of each lot to determine the most suitable grade for their production formula. In addition to protein, MBM also provides a natural source of calcium and phosphorus, thanks to the bone content in the raw material.
4. Common Types of Meat & Bone Meal
MBM can be categorized by animal raw material source, helping feed mills select products that suit their nutritional requirements, formulations, and applicable usage regulations.
Porcine MBM
Porcine Meat & Bone Meal is sourced from pigs. This is one of the most popular MBM lines, providing animal protein together with minerals from bone. The product can be selected based on specific criteria for protein, fat, moisture, and ash content to match the feed formulation of each mill.
Bovine MBM
Bovine Meat & Bone Meal is sourced from cattle. The product provides protein and minerals, suitable as a raw material in animal feed formulations that require specific sourcing and comply with the standards of each market.
5. Applications of Meat & Bone Meal in Livestock Farming
MBM is primarily used as a source of animal protein and minerals in animal feed production.
Supplementing animal protein
With a protein content that can reach 50–57% min, MBM is a suitable protein source for blending into a wide range of feed formulations. Protein derived from animal raw materials provides essential amino acids for the ration, while the actual nutritional value depends on the raw material source and the quality of each shipment.
Providing calcium and phosphorus
The bone content in MBM contributes a significant mineral load, particularly calcium and phosphorus. These are two essential minerals in formulating nutritional rations for livestock.
Optimizing feed formulations
MBM can be used in combination with other protein and mineral sources to build feed formulations that meet nutritional requirements and cost targets of the mill. Selecting the correct specification helps businesses better control parameters such as protein, fat, moisture, and ash in the overall formulation.
Diverse raw material sources
With MBM lines sourced from pigs, cattle, sheep, or blends of multiple sources, businesses have greater flexibility based on their requirements for origin, composition, and raw material standards. The use of each type must comply with the applicable formulation and regulations for the target market and livestock category.
