PAPOTH refers to Processed Animal Protein (PAP) derived from non-ruminant species, specifically including poultry, porcine, and other specified animals as indicated by EU regulations.

PAPOTH is an acronym used in EU regulations to classify Processed Animal Protein (PAP) originating from non-ruminant species. This classification includes specific guidelines and standards to ensure the safe handling, processing, and transportation of these materials. Key aspects of PAPOTH include:

  • Non-Ruminant Species: PAPOTH specifically pertains to proteins derived from non-ruminant animals such as:

    • Poultry: Includes chickens, turkeys, and other avian species.

    • Porcine: Refers to pigs and other swine species.

    • Other Specified Animals: May include fish and other non-ruminant species as specified in regulatory documents.

  • Handling Procedures: Detailed protocols for the collection, transport, and initial handling of PAP to prevent risks to public and animal health.

  • Processing Standards: Specific methods outlined in EU regulations that must be followed to process these proteins safely, ensuring compliance with microbiological standards.

  • Transportation Requirements: Standards for transporting PAP to ensure they are carried in dedicated containers and consigned directly from processing plants to the appropriate facilities.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Adherence to strict EU guidelines to manage risks associated with animal proteins and ensure they are handled in a manner that protects public health and the environment.
