The materials collected vary by species: liver, lung, heart, kidney, blood, paunch, udders and spleens for cattle, pigs and sheep; filleting waste (head, bones, tail, skin) for fish; liver, heart and blood for game and rabbit; liver, heart, viscera, carcass, bones, head, neck, feet and skin for poultry.
- Refrigerated trucks keeping products at ≤ 7°C, in line with regulations.
- Collections several times a week to guarantee freshness.
- Over 100 geolocated trucks criss-cross France daily, delivering more than 2,000 tonnes of material to the 4 processing sites: Saint-Amour (39), Fleury-les-Aubrais (45), Cuiseaux (71) and Sainte-Florence (85).
Processing
Two processing methods, adapted to each outlet.
Processing stabilizes materials collected in a raw state, in line with each client's specifications, both in preparation and packaging.
❄
Refrigeration — fresh or frozen
Rapid cooling using tubular heat exchangers for fresh deliveries, kept between 2 and 4°C on a just-in-time basis. For frozen products, fast and deep freezing in plate freezers followed by storage at -18°C at the Fleury-les-Aubrais, Cuiseaux and Sainte-Florence sites, mainly intended for wet pet food.

Cooking
A specialty of the Saint-Amour (39) site, cooking dehydrates the material to produce protein-rich processed animal proteins (PAP), intended for pet food and aquaculture, as well as animal fats intended for animal feed (feed and petfood), technical uses or biofuel production. This sanitizing heat treatment ensures the sanitary safety of the derived products.
Storage
A national cold-storage capacity of more than 20,000 tonnes.
PRODIA operates 6 cold-storage warehouses spread across the country, representing a storage capacity of more than 20,000 tonnes. At Saint-Amour (39), the cooking plant alone can store up to 1,000 tonnes of protein and 1,000 tonnes of fat.
- A network of warehouses strategically positioned across the country.
- Enhanced responsiveness to client demand.
- Dedicated capacity for protein and fat at Saint-Amour.
