The global Meat bone meal market is currently stable, with prices remaining within a reasonable range. Sporadic transactions exceeding this range have not shaken the overall market structure,

and the industry is developing in a steady and orderly manner. Although export demand for pork bone meal and ruminant bone meal continues to rise, injecting strong momentum into the market,

the potential pressure from lower prices of poultry-related products and declining soybean meal prices has temporarily limited the potential for significant price increases in Meat bone meal. Overall,

the industry is in a healthy development trend of steady growth. According to Fastmarkets’ daily assessment, pork bone meal (Missouri River FOB) prices have risen to $265-315 per short ton,a slight increase from previous prices. While the rumored high of $350/ton has not yet been confirmed, it indirectly reflects the market’s positive expectations for Meat bone meal. Meanwhile, Russia’sBusiness Director of the Moscow-based think tank Feedlot, revealed at the ProteinTek conference that Russia’s animal protein production for feed is expected to reach 870,000 to 900,000 tons in 2023.Meat bone meal production increased by 7%-10% year-on-year, accounting for nearly half of the total output, becoming the core pillar of the industry. Coupled with the breakthrough made by the US research team in the resource utilization of Meat bone meal and the successful development of biodegradable bioplastics,Meat bone meal has long transcended the traditional feed category and transformed into a golden raw material with economic, environmental and practical value, ushering in new development opportunities.

一.Deeply rooted in the livestock sector, Meat bone meal has become a necessity and a favorite in the feed industry

Amid the global trend towards large-scale and intensive livestock farming, high-quality protein feed ingredients have consistently been in short supply. Meat bone meal,with its unique nutritional advantages, firmly holds a core position in the feed market. As a high-quality animal protein source, Meat bone meal is rich in crude protein,calcium, phosphorus, and various trace elements, with a balanced nutritional profile. With a digestibility and absorption rate far exceeding that of ordinary plant protein raw materials,Meat bone meal can effectively meet the growth needs of pigs, poultry, ruminants, and aquaculture, helping livestock and poultry to gain weight rapidly, develop strong physiques,and improve breeding efficiency. Compared with plant protein raw materials such as soybean meal, Meat bone meal offers better cost performance.In a market environment where soybean meal prices fluctuate frequently, it has become the preferred raw material for feed companies to reduce costs and increase efficiency,effectively alleviating the shortage of protein raw materials.
Looking at the global market, the demand for Meat bone meal continues to expand. Leading Russian meat companies are ramping up animal protein production and investing heavily in Meat bone meal processing, efficiently converting offal, bones, blood, and other production waste into high-quality Meat bone meal.This achieves closed-loop utilization of production waste and fills the domestic feed protein gap. The top ten Meat bone meal producers now account for 35% of the industry’s total output,demonstrating a significant trend towards large-scale development. Domestically, Meat bone meal, with its stable quality and ample supply, has become a staple raw material for feed mills and large-scale farms, with market demand increasing year by year, solidifying its core position in the livestock industry chain.

二. Breaking Application Boundaries: Meat bone meal Unlocks a New Environmentally Friendly and High-Value Track

Previously, Meat bone meal faced the dilemma of being discarded and landfilled due to restrictions on certain applications, wasting resources and polluting the environment.However, breakthroughs in scientific research have completely rewritten the fate of Meat bone meal, transforming it from livestock waste into a high-value,environmentally friendly raw material. A groundbreaking research finding from a team at Clemson University in the United States shows that Meat bone meal (MBM) can be mixed with ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) to prepare a bioplastic that combines toughness,durability, and biodegradability, with performance comparable to traditional plastics, while significantly reducing petroleum consumption. This enables the resource-based reuse of solid waste. More importantly, the infectious BSE component in Meat bone meal can be completely inactivated during the production process,ensuring safety and eliminating potential hazards throughout, thus opening up a new environmentally friendly application avenue for Meat bone meal.This technological breakthrough has doubled the value of Meat bone meal. Beyond traditional animal feed, Meat bone meal can be widely used in bioplastics manufacturing,organic fertilizer production, pet food processing, and many other fields, further expanding its market potential. In the pet food sector, Meat bone meal,with its natural animal protein advantage, has become a core ingredient in high-end pet food, aligning with the current trend towards healthier and more natural pet foods.In the organic fertilizer sector, the rich organic matter and minerals in Meat bone meal can improve soil quality and fertility, contributing to the development of ecological agriculture.These diverse applications make Meat bone meal a highly promising and popular investment category.
