Limited price changes and slow trading in the US animal proteins market were reported in the week to Friday October 25, with several market participants attending the North American Rendering Association (NARA) conference in California.

Fastmarkets’ assessment for poultry by-product meal (PBPM), pet grade, Mid-South averaged $605.00 per short ton in the week to Friday, up by 3.48% from the previous week’s average.

Excess inventories have tightened due to shipping backups at big US ports and recent hurricanes, but stocks were not completely cleaned up at some locations, Fastmarkets heard.
