Livestock Producers Accepting Food By-products

By eliminating food by-products from your liquid and solid waste streams you can greatly reduce disposal costs. Food by-products may be used as livestock feed. The livestock producer must have one of two types of permits from the Minnesota Board of Animal Health.

Exempt materials permit. Non-meat food by-products must have had no possibility of coming into contact with meat for an exempt materials permit holder to accept it.

Garbage feeder permit. Permit holders can accept meat by-products and other food by-products that may have come into contact with meat. For example, produce from a supermarket can only be given to a garbage feeder permit holder. Because meat is also at the supermarket, produce may have come in contact with it.

MnTAP maintains the following lists of exempt materials and garbage feeder permit holders solely as a service to Minnesota companies. These may not be complete lists and do not represent an endorsement by MnTAP. MnTAP, by providing the lists, does not guarantee that the services do or do not comply with environmental and safety laws. You may want to verify current permit status with the Minnesota Board of Animal Health.
