The removal and disposal of dead animals and slaughterhouse offalls by rendering plants to produce meat and bone meal (high nutritive value due to the protein and mineral content) is a model for a successful concept of recycling organic matter. Especially since the discussion on BSE and on the role of meat meal in distribution of this disease the products--inspite of their nutritive value--came under criticism. Besides this development more and more owners of companion animals refuse the removal of their animals by rendering plants, increasing their demand of other kinds of disposal (crematorium, burial-grounds). The image of meat and bone meal has been reduced in the last years, although the animal production causes the mass of mortalities and slaughterhouse offals there is a trend to renounce on the use of meat and bone meal in food producing animals. From the ecological and economical point of view it is irresponsible to use a meat and bone meal--produced under specified conditions concerning temperature, pressure and duration of heat treatment--as fuel. Alternative kinds of disposal of dead animals (for example composting) are presented and discussed with their advantages and drawbacks, especially their risks from spreading infectious organisms and diseases.
通过提炼厂处理和处置死畜及屠宰场废弃物以生产肉骨粉（因其蛋白质和矿物质含量而具有高营养价值），是有机物循环利用成功理念的一个典范。尤其是自关于疯牛病以及肉粉在该疾病传播中作用的讨论以来，尽管这些产品具有营养价值，但仍受到了批评。除了这种情况外，越来越多的伴侣动物主人拒绝让提炼厂处理他们的动物尸体，转而增加了对其他处置方式（火葬场、墓地）的需求。尽管动物生产导致了大量死亡和屠宰场废弃物，但在过去几年中，肉骨粉的形象有所下降，并且有一种趋势是不再在食用动物中使用肉骨粉。从生态和经济角度来看，将在特定温度、压力和热处理持续时间条件下生产的肉骨粉用作燃料是不负责任的。本文介绍并讨论了死畜的其他处置方式（例如堆肥）及其优缺点，特别是它们传播传染性生物和疾病的风险。
