Leo Group ǁ Animal By-Product Solutions

Leo Group have three decades of experience and expertise in providing high quality and high efficacy solutions in waste management and the processing of potentially useful animal by-products. 

As they continuously refine and improve their methods, Leo Group can offer an increasingly versatile, diverse service for a variety of industries. Subsequently, Leo Group now specialise in a number of areas, such as processed animal proteins, pet food production, purified fats and oils, rendering, and the collection of fallen stock.

Processed Animal Proteins – Feeds And Fertilisers

Leo Group derive high quality animal feeds and fertilisers from processed poultry, meat, bone meal, blood and even feathers. Animal by-products which would otherwise be wasted are treated and changed into a high-protein meal. This meal can then be used to create highly digestible and nutritious pet foods, or other feeds for various animals.

Leo Group's efficient treatment, hydrolisation and drying processes transform otherwise useless waste blood, feathers and bone into nitrogen-rich fertilisers for the agricultural and horticultural domains.

With offices and sites across the UK and Ireland, Leo Group are able to significantly enhance the value of animal slaughtering and meat industries, by utilising by-products which previously would have simply been disposed of. Leo Group remove these by-products from the abattoir and use the latest technology to convert them into quality pet food ingredients. Leo Group then blend and freeze the resulting mixtures for distribution to some of Europe's largest pet food suppliers.

Rendering And Purified Fats

Leo Group produce valuable fats and oils by rendering animal by-products in their specially equipped Omega Proteins plant. 

The resulting materials can be burned as bio-fuels or used as ingredients for pet food or cosmetics.  In addition, purified poultry and tallow oil have applications in the oleo chemical industries.

Leo Group have invested heavily in the installation of industry-leading machinery to ensure that all rendering procedures are as environmentally friendly as possible.

Fallen Stock

As a member of The National Fallen Stock Scheme, Leo Group are available to more than seven thousand farms in the UK, and will assist with the prompt removal of fallen stock when requested.  Leo Group's agents aim to respond to calls within one working day, and can quickly locate and transport animal carcasses for rendering at one of their plants.
