On our poultry farm, instead of throwing away cracked eggs, we either gave them to our German shepherds, or my mom used them for baking. No wonder our dogs had the best looking coats you could imagine; the egg protein provided a healthy sheen. So, if you’re making cheese for human consumption, and some of it fails to meet your spec for quality, why not repurpose this lower quality product as high-quality protein product for use in pet food and animal feed?
Such is the case for a European cheese maker who found a novel use for a heat exchanger to reclaim cheese from production sites across Europe, which otherwise could have gone to waste.
