What is variable in meat and bone meal and why?
Mineral composition. It is based on how much bone is in the bone meal.
what are the regulations on meat and bone meal?
ONLY NON- RUMINANT meat and bone meal may be fed to RUMINANT because RUMINANT TO RUMINANT can spread mad cow disease.

Spray dry chamber is used for?
to conserve High quality protein in minerals. Delicate process to conserve protein quality and higher lysine content. expensive.
Drum dryers:
