"Agribusiness" cure Europeans using pig waste

"Agribusiness" is not yet able to feed their nuggets of Europeans, but it is going to treat them.

company is in talks with foreign firms to supply their animal by-products for the manufacture of heparin , said " RBC Daily».

This drug is used in the treatment of myocardial infarction and cancer. In Russia there is no such technology , says the head of " Miratorga " Alexander Nikitin, why sends products to the West. This will allow the company to improve profitability in an increasingly competitive environment and rising costs .

The fact that Russia's leading producer of pork " Agribusiness " negotiates with European companies to supply them to the intestinal mucosa of animals, of which the substance is manufactured for the production of heparin , told RBC daily vice- president Alexander Nikitin . "We are going to sell quite a specific product . In Russia there are no facilities for processing it , - he said. - Even in Europe, only two companies that own the technology . " Terms of the transaction , Mr. Nikitin did not disclose to the completion of negotiations.

Heparin prevents blood clotting, used in the treatment of myocardial infarction, thrombosis , cancer.

As it turned out , to adjust supplies to Europe by-product is even easier than the actual meat products. "If they're hard to protect the market from the meat supply , the supply of products of deep processing of waste do not regulate ," - said Alexander Nikitin .

According to him, in spite of the small amounts of by-products obtained in the overall scale of production , the economy of processing to get interesting : " Adverse production quickly recouped and thus have a positive impact on the overall economy of the enterprise ." According to the company , the sale of by-products giving 0.3 % of the total sales of meat processing enterprise. Revenues for the complex in 2012 amounted to 23 billion rubles.

According to Mr. Nikitin , at the design stage massacre in 2007 was made a bet on the maximum depth of processing of the pig. In early 2009, the meat-processing complex was put into operation. Today, its power can score three million head per year and receive 290 tons of pork slaughter weight . Investments amounted to 6.6 billion rubles.

Now the company goes slaughtering, deboning pork carcass retail packaging pieces , the production of edible oil , as well as processing of bones in the meat and bone meal and inedible fat , "red" and "white" of internal organs for the production of feed for farm animals. The former include the heart, liver , kidney, the second - the spleen, lungs , trachea , etc. . "Manufacturers of animal feed we buy large volumes of refined products , as well as meat and bone meal and dietary fat ," - added Mr. Nikitin . In the manufacture of animal feed are also by-products of animal blood - albumin .

« If you agree with the Europeans , from a pig nothing left but the soul" - happy chapter " Miratorga ."

Most breeders interviewed "RBC Daily», on the production of meat and bone meal do not go. For example, at a meat processing factory of the company "Agro- Belogorie ", the second producer of pork in Russia , operating the equipment for drying the blood, which is later used in the feed industry , said a company representative.

this year launched the agricultural holding another processing facility , which is the product of the production of meat and bone meal , technical and feed fat .

since 2012 in most sectors of agriculture, which have recently demonstrated high margins , profitability was gradually reduced , like the chief expert of the Center for Economic Forecasting Gazprombank Daria Snitko : " This is compounded by a number of negative consequences of the WTO - increased competition with imports in the pig sector , for example, as well as the slowdown in demand and cost-push inflation . " In these conditions, it is logical that industry leaders are paying attention to the strict management cost , including in the field of waste management , said Ms. Snitko .
