AMPC R&D update 🔬 AMPC and CSIRO are currently researching the properties of pleura to determine if it can be collected during the red meat processing process and potentially be used for pet food or pharmaceuticals. Removing pleura during processing can enhance the eating quality and presents valuable opportunities for processors to use pleura for alternative uses.
