Modern bioeconomic waste-less processing of deer, producing the end product – raw material with a high value added for food, cosmetics and the pharmaceutical industry

Project description

Objectives. To ensure waste-less processing of red deer carcasses, extending shelf life of fresh venison and developing slaughtering technology to produce and process by-products. It is planned to develop an innovative slaughtering technology to produce high quality raw material from deer slaughtering (primary treatment) by-products, which potentially can be processed into products with a high added value – tendons, blood, tails, genitals, embryos, placentas, hypophysis, internal organs. Within the project, it is intended to develop deer slaughtering technology with a view to ensure production of by-products; to develop the technology, extending shelf life of fresh venison; to develop deer blood collecting technology for production of powdered blood; to develop collagen peptides production technology from tendons – for functional food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry.
