To all poultry slaughter and feed processing professionals in Vietnam, let’s get down to practical matters.

It used to be possible to dispose of feathers and slaughter residues at no cost and lower waste handling fees.

Around Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City,there are specialized collectors and processing villages that buy wet feathers and duck feathers by the kilo.Around Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, professional purchasers and processing hubs have long been purchasing wet poultry feathers by kilogram.

What does it mean? The so-called waste removed daily from your slaughter line has long become a lucrative income source for others.

More importantly, environmental regulations in Vietnam keep tightening. Article 60 of the Animal Husbandry stipulates standardized disposal of slaughter waste.One enterprise in Nghệ An Province has been penalized 370 million VND for direct discharge of untreated wastewater. If you sell wet feathers at a low price,buyers will process them into high-protein feather meal and resell to feed factories, pocketing all the margins.Meanwhile, any environmental violations by the processor may bring risks to your supply chain.
