Abstract:	: The goal of this study is to determine physico–chemical parameters of meat and bone meal obtained by processing animal by-products not intended for human consumption. The variation of the values obtained by analyzing nine samples (each sample in three receptions) is very low. Meat and bone meal obtained from category III byproducts (PAP), is an important source of animal protein, being an important ingredient for the production of pet food.
Keywords:	physico–chemical parameters, bone meal, category III byproducts (PAP), protein
