I believe they cook the excess meat off the bone and grind the bone to make bone meal and the make feather meal with the ground feathers
Im under the impression that this meal is used for dog food.
Mostly for Purina
That's true, Purina does get their meat and by-products from Tyson. I once talked to a lady that had lived beside a Tyson mill. She told me some horrific stories about what they sell to Purina. She said that she had to move away because the smell near the plant was so bad, because they had rotten meat and by-products that Ralston Purina would buy from them. They had those huge metal tubs, just filled with rotten meat. After that experience she never bought Purina ever again.
