Company patents technology to feed cattle from waste

The phrase "squeeze until the very last drop" literally came true for Biotectra, a Mexican company that managed to extract nutrients from organic waste and transform them into a main ingredient for cattle food.

The company, located in the Mexico City, is responsible for collecting the organic waste generated by the food sector, such as crop waste, expired products like milk, soups, meat and vegetables, as well as those that do not meet quality regulations, and after a microbiological process, adds them to different foods for farm animals.

Biotectra founder Luis Jose Cruz Gaviño explained that failing to eliminate this type of waste represents a major health risk, since is sometimes used to feed animals for fattening or sold cheaply in clandestine markets, a situation that eventually affects public health.

In order to solve this situation, the veterinarian by the National University of Mexico (UNAM) developed a technology that kills disease-causing viruses and bacteria in food, which is then processed to obtain an ingredient that is added to cattle feed. One feature of this additive is that it improves feed digestibility for animals.

The Biotectra team collects food industry waste and takes that raw material to their premises, where they transform it into an ingredient of cattle feed (http://phys.org/tags/cattle+feed/). The production is in line with the regulations of different types of food for each species, such as pigs, cattle and sheep.

According to Gaviño Cruz, the firm has reduced the production cost of livestock feed between 30 and 50 percent, depending on the type of waste and the animal to be fed.

They use products rich in protein, such as waste turkey or chicken sausage, dairy, fruit and pastries, usually waste from hotels and restaurants. For food intended for ruminants, they work with waste from fruits, vegetables, chicken or fish.

It is noteworthy that organic waste (http://phys.org/tags/organic+waste/) represents a health problem for municipalities, as well as for the animals (http://phys.org/tags/animals/) that ingest it. "We help companies in the food industry to dispose of their waste safely, and provide the government with an alternative that allows them to eliminate it," the founder of Biotectra concluded.

cattle raisers feed all kinds of shit to cows, almost anything, detritus from other mammals, fowls, anything but their natural food of grass, feeding herbivores as if they were omnivores and shit eaters. Then there's the hormones, chemicals, antibiotics.
