JET Corporation Revolutionizes Animal Disease Management

In a significant advancement for animal health management, JET Corporation has secured and delivered a mobile rendering device for the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries of Japan. Starting from this fiscal year, the mobile rendering device will enhance the handling of livestock bodies during outbreaks of specific contagious diseases such as pig fever and foot-and-mouth disease.

Background: The Need for Swift and Safe Processing

During outbreaks of specific livestock diseases, the standard procedure requires the culling of infected animals, typically involving burial or incineration. However, this method presents several challenges, including the need for land acquisition, ensuring community understanding, risks of groundwater contamination, odors, pest infestation, and the potential for further infection during transportation. The mobile rendering device aims to address these issues by conducting immediate and secure processing on-site, effectively reducing the volume of the animal bodies. Currently, four mobile rendering devices are distributed across animal quarantine stations nationwide, with an additional unit recently deployed to enhance readiness against disease spread and repeated outbreaks.

Testing Results: Confirmation of Heating Efficiency

The recent confirmation tests included assembly, input of animal bodies, heating, extraction, and cleaning processes of the device. A 10-ton cow was processed entirely without cutting, achieving slurry formation within two hours. The internal temperature of the device reached 80 to 99 degrees Celsius, meeting all the specific requirements regarding infectious material removal, processing capacity, and safety determined by the animal quarantine authorities. A video of the testing process can be viewed here (5 minutes 20 seconds).

Technology: JET’s ERS Technology at Work

JET Corporation is renowned for developing the Environmental Recycling System (ERS), a rapid fermentation and drying technology. Utilizing proprietary techniques, it activates local microorganisms, allowing swift and safe processing without odors or wastewater. The processed material can be repurposed as biomass fuel or 100% organic fertilizer. This innovative technology has been integrated into private livestock farms to create a circular resource system from livestock waste. During the trials, it was confirmed that the device can heat up to 99 degrees, proving its suitability as a mobile rendering unit.

Future Developments

The ERS incorporates a fermentation and drying function that can be mechanically controlled for optimal processing. In this recent delivery of a mobile rendering device, the fermentation and drying capabilities were utilized effectively, yielding products with a moisture content of 28.9% after approximately four hours of processing. The reduction of moisture directly correlates with minimizing the volume of the end products. Furthermore, fermentation is expected to alleviate odor issues, making the end materials more manageable.

With ERS’s unique technology, JET aims to provide a solution that is easier to bury, burn, and transport, easing the burden on final disposal sites and incineration facilities. This comprehensive approach reflects JET’s commitment to proposing new avenues for swift animal disease management, particularly during outbreaks among cattle, pigs, and poultry.
