Inactivation of indicator microorganisms and biological hazards by standard and/or alternative processing methods in Category 2 and 3 animal by-products and derived products to be used as organic fertilisers and/or soil improvers.

ABSTRACT: The European Commission requested EFSA to assess if different thermal processes achieve a 5 log₁₀ reduction in Enterococcus faecalis or Salmonella Senftenberg (775W) and (if relevant) a 3 log₁₀ reduction in thermoresistant viruses (e.g. Parvovirus) as well as if different chemical processes achieve a 3 log₁₀ reduction of eggs of Ascaris sp., in eight groups of Category 2 and 3 derived products and animal by-products (ABP). These included (1) ash derived from incineration, co-incineration and combustion; (2) glycerine derived from the production of biodiesel and renewable fuels; (3) other materials derived from the production of biodiesel and renewable fuels; (4) hides and skins; (5) wool and hair; (6) feathers and down; (7) pig b
