What is chicken by-product?
Chicken by-product meal consists of the dry, ground and rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered chicken, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines. Chicken by-products are much less expensive and less digestible than chicken muscle meat. As well as quality, the nutritional value is also not consistent. A simple guideline, any protein by-products consists of any parts of the animal OTHER than meat. When choosing a pet food, owners should pick a food without any by-products to ensure quality and high nutrient protein source.
