animal byproducts

Livestock-sourced materials harvested

Animal byproducts are materials derived from animals that aren't the primary product.

In meat processing, this includes organs, bones, blood, fat, hides, and feathers—everything but the cuts sold as meat.

The term appears frequently in pet food ingredients and agricultural feed.

In vegan contexts, animal byproducts extend to eggs, dairy, and honey: This soap contains no animal byproducts.
