Bonemeal to be used in pet food

Ireland: Some 171,000 tonnes of meat and bonemeal was stored in 32 stores in different locations around the country at the end of January this year.

Agriculture Minister Mary Coughlan disclosed the figure in a written reply to a query by Fine Gael TD Denis Naughten.

He had sought an update in regard to the rendering and disposal of meat and bonemeal produced in the State.
