Is the use of food waste as animal feed not prohibited? Feeding food waste containing inadequately cooked meat to pigs is said to be one of the main routes of infection for serious livestock diseases. Many countries abroad have a complete ban on this practice, and even in areas where it is permitted, strict heating standards are imposed. On the other hand, in Japan, in order to improve feed self-sufficiency and realize a circular society, the continuation of food waste as animal feed has been allowed, provided that a system is established to carry out appropriate heating treatments in line with international standards. The use of food waste as animal feed involves many companies and organizations, not only in the livestock industry but also in food manufacturing, food retail, the restaurant industry, and the hospitality sector. Regardless of the volume of waste, enhanced heating treatment can be easily implemented in small quantities using the Okadora Cyclone Dryer.
