Animal Proteins & Oils
What We Do
Trading as CSF proteins, our Animal Proteins and Oils business services the animal feed and biofuel sectors and provides a valuable market for animal co-products not otherwise directed to human consumption. Our Laverton North site in western Melbourne has segregated plants for poultry, poultry concentrates, red meat, ovine, feathers and blood.  Our Maroota site on the outskirts of Sydney processes poultry, poultry concentrates, fish, feathers and blood. Storage, blending, sieving, and bagging facilities further support our ability to service customer needs, as well as to import and export licensed meals and oils.
Why Choose Us
Striving towards a more circular bio-economy by processing animal co-products into valuable feed and biofuel ingredients, whilst also utilising biogas and recycling wastewater, doesn’t just make good business sense for Ridley, but also for our customers, suppliers and the planet. Here’s how we do things differently…
- Quality Focused: Quality starts with knowing the nutritional value of the ingredients we produce. We inherently understand the needs of our customers given that Ridley, as Australia’s largest animal feed producer, is also a key customer utilising our products as ingredients in producing poultry, pork, pet and aqua feeds.
- Continuous Improvement: Continuous improvement exists across all stages of the supply chain. We partner with our raw material suppliers to improve quality and delivery whilst utilising our engineering, production and maintenance expertise to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of our plants. This ensures that we are also continuously improving the meal and oil quality for our customers, which in turn delivers better health and feed conversion for the animals they feed, as well as cleaner oils for those in the sustainable aviation fuel and biodiesel sectors.
- Dedicated and Integrated Senior Leadership Team: Our scale and product range means that we are able to structure our leadership team with dedicated expertise. Our commercial team has extensive experience in the petfood, aquafeed, poultry, pork and red meat processing sectors, whilst our operations team has production, maintenance and engineering experts in the processing of animal coproducts. Our strong links with the Ridley Nutrition and Technical team also provide us with an ability to collaborate with customers on product development opportunities.
- Broadest Range:  We offer the industry’s broadest range of animal co-product ingredients, including poultry, fish, bovine and ovine meals, low ash and concentrate variants, as well as tallows and oils. We have the scope and capacity to offer flexible solutions to our customers and high levels of serviceability to our suppliers.
- Part of the Solution: Â Our business supports a critical part of the food ecosystem in Australia. Â We contribute to the bio-economy by producing agricultural ingredients from co-products to save what would otherwise be landfill, whilst simultaneously generating and utilising biogas (methane) to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions.
- Investing in the Future:  We see the recovery of animal proteins and oils from co-products as an essential part of responsible and circular food production. Through innovation, efficiency, and creativity, we see a future with valuable, higher-quality products and ingredients, driving a more meaningful bio-impact. We work together with the wider Ridley Group to strive towards lower production costs, improving economies of scale, and developing products that will continue to lead animal nutrition.
