A recent strategic move within the market occurred in September 2025 when Mukka Proteins Limited, an India-based animal protein firm, acquired a 51% stake in FABBCO Bio Cycle & Bio Protein. Although the financial details were not disclosed, this acquisition aims to broaden Mukka Proteins' expertise in sustainable protein production and fortify its position in the bio-based animal nutrition sector. FABBCO Bio Cycle & Bio Protein specializes in manufacturing bio-proteins and organic fertilizers through recycling and bioconversion processes, reflecting the growing emphasis on sustainability.

Technological Innovations Shaping the Future of Processed Animal Protein
Industry leaders are increasingly incorporating advanced technologies to refine processing efficiency and improve product quality within the processed animal protein market. One significant development is the adoption of X-ray imaging systems, which enhance the detection of contaminants, such as bones and foreign materials, during protein processing. These systems deliver real-time analysis, automated defect rejection, and optimize yield, thereby boosting production safety and consistency.

For example, in August 2023, Eagle Product Inspection, a US-based company specializing in inspection technologies for animal protein processing, introduced the MAXIMIZER RMI system. This advanced X-ray inspection solution offers dual-lane capacity, handling up to 120 pieces per lane each minute, and integrates with SimulTask PRO image analysis software for precise contaminant identification. Automated reject management further enhances throughput and reduces reliance on manual inspections. MAXIMIZER RMI represents a leap forward in automation and product quality assurance for poultry and meat processing lines within the animal protein sector.
