You’ve raised important questions regarding the use of Meat and Bone Meal (MBM) and Bone-based Di Calcium Phosphate (DCP) in broiler feed, particularly concerning their processing and potential safety issues.<div>
</div><div>Here’s a breakdown of your concerns:</div><div>
</div><div>1. Feed Safety for Birds and Humans: According to BIS standards (IS: 1948-1968, revised in 2009), bone meal should be free from harmful bacteria like Bacillus anthracis and Clostridium species. If the sterilization process is properly followed, these pathogens should be eliminated. However, in practice, if the process is not strictly followed, there could be contamination, which would be a risk to both poultry and humans consuming the meat.</div><div>
</div><div>2. Sterilization vs. Gelatine Extraction: Gelatine extraction is the main product of these industries, and bone meal and DCP are by-products. Proper sterilization, as required by BIS, might weaken gelatine extraction, which raises concerns that manufacturers may prioritize gelatine quality over complete sterilization. This can lead to substandard bone meal and DCP, which may not meet safety standards for broiler feed.</div><div>
</div><div>3. Need for Investigation: It is essential to verify whether suppliers are following proper sterilization protocols. Testing feed samples or using certified suppliers would ensure that bone meal and DCP meet the required safety standards. Without proper checks, using contaminated feed could pose health risks.</div><div>
</div><div>In summary, strict adherence to BIS guidelines is crucial for safety, and we must ensure this by holding suppliers accountable and regularly testing feed components.</div>
