Rendering is the process of recovering fat (and other by-products) from dead or condemned carcasses by applying heat to melt and separate the fat.
By-Product Processing Terms
- Rendering → Recovery of fat from dead/condemned carcass
- Shammoying → Tanning sheep skin with fish oil to make it soft and pliable
- Flaying → Removal of skin/hide from the carcass

Rendered fats are used in manufacturing soap, lubricants and animal feed. The solid residue after rendering is used as meat meal (animal protein supplement).
