Abstract
A process for preparing a nutritional supplement includes the steps of mixing animal blood solids, hydrolized poultry feathers and animal offal to create a mixture, adding protease enzyme to the mixture (20), digesting the mixture with protease enzyme (28) and drying the digested mixture (38) in order to reduce the moisture content thereof down to 5-8 weight percent. During processing, the digested mixture is never exposed to temperatures above approximately 83° C. so that the blood and offal are not degraded or denatured and remain intact so as to provide full nutritional benefit.
