Abstract: A system for recovering nutrients from animal byproducts includes a grinder, a separator, and a dehydrator. The grinder is adapted to reduce the animal byproduct into smaller particles. The separator is adapted to separate the animal byproduct into water, oil and solids. The dehydrator is adapted to dry the solid material of the animal byproduct. A method for recovering nutrients from animal byproducts includes grinding animal byproduct material, separating protein from the animal byproduct material to produce a meal, and drying the meal.
